ABSTRACT: Free-range poultry has become an important source of income for small farmers in municipalities at backlands of Alagoas. Despite this, little is known about the real financial performance of the activity as well as its operating costs. In this scenario, the objective of the present study was to verify the effective operational cost of egg production in a hick system at municipalities of Santana do Ipanema and São José da Tapera, Alagoas/BR. Technical visits were make to poultry producers, and simplified field booklets were delivered for taking notes, contemplating productivity indicators such as feed consumption, expenses, investments, revenues, input prices, family consumption, losses, number of animals in production, selling price of the product, in which the research participants received the necessary guidance on filling in this material. The study showed that the producers involved in the research are divided between those who use commercial feed and those who manufacture the feed on the property to feed the chickens. The data obtained showed an average cost of R$ 3.26/dozen eggs produced, driven by the variation in the price of inputs, which are imported from other regions of the country. The collective purchase of inputs can help to reduce the cost of production.
