Abstract:	This study aims to examine the economic structure and performance of egg-producing poultry farms in Türkiye. A total of 68 farms operating in the provinces of Afyonkarahisar, Konya, Manisa, Antalya, Burdur, and Isparta were evaluated in five groups according to flock size; the data cover the 2022 production season. The majority of farm owners have a high school or higher education level, and their experience plays a determining role in profitability and production management. As farm scale increases, the adoption of modern production systems (88.24% enriched cages), the rate of organisation (77.9%), and profitability also increase. Feed costs constitute the most significant portion of production expenses (67.05%), with an average unit egg cost of 1.27 TRY and a selling price of 1.55 TRY. Small farms still face limitations in cost management and access to financial resources. The findings indicate that economies of scale, modern production systems, and effective cost management are critical for profitability. To achieve sustainable profitability, strategies such as improving feed efficiency, encouraging organisation, expanding modern cage systems, and facilitating financial access are recommended.
