In bird flu season, black-marketed(not officially sold) chicken in almost 10 times cheaper. pardon me if i'm wrong. let this cost be"x".
Now in non-bird flu times, let the cost be "y"
but y >>x, y is much greater than x
but even in bird flu season, if someopne buys black-marketed chicken, then he's addicted to it. so definitely the trader is having a profit, though little.. he'll atleast try to break even.. on top of that, much of his poultry was culled by government, so he'll try to recover that cost..
so in a sense, chicken has a profir margin of around= 10*100%=1,000%
