The Chicken that Lays the Golden Egg
Overview
In Viet Nam
½ of all households – rural and urban – keep
chickens
In rural areas 7/10 households – a total of 8
million HHs – own chickens
Average flock size is 16 birds (4 hens, 1 cock,
and 11 growers and chicks)
Only 1% of flocks consist of more than 100
birds
The Viet Nam Example*
Chickens mostly kept as backyard flocks by small
holders with an average per capita income of less than
100 USD per year
