The method of data collection is done by purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is the taking of data by giving certain considerations or giving conditions to the samples taken. The parameters observed were chicken population, average egg production, percentage of fertilized eggs, percentage of damaged eggs, and percentage of empty eggs. The selling price of Rp. 20,000.00 / kg of consumption eggs, the selling price of fertilized eggs Rp. 2,200.00 / item and the price of empty eggs (after candling 4 days of hatching) Rp. 10,000.00 / kg or half of the price of normal consumption eggs. Respondent B had the largest difference in sales price among all respondents, namely Rp.49,754,585.00 because it had the largest layer of livestock population and the average egg production.
