Country Chicken Co. has begun educating farmers on how to offer a healthy diet for the chicken birds. By doing so, the three have been able to provide delectable chicken while maintaining quality standards.

For the fiscal year 2022-2023, the company's revenue was Rs 5 crore. From January 2022 to April 2023, the company's monthly revenue climbed from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore. Country Chicken intends to generate Rs 50 crore in revenue in fiscal year 2023-2024, as stated by NBT.
