>whole chickens are 77 cents per pound why is it so cheap?

bones, skin, water, giblets.
Always get skinless boneless chicken.

Because it's been minimally processed. When you buy boneless, skinless chicken you're paying for the labor of making it boneless and skinless. When you buy a whole chicken you're paying for less labor.

you live in a third world country so food is less expensive relative to global standards.

They harvest the chickens when they pretty young. They are less than 3 months old. They eat mostly a corn / soy protein blend that is dirt cheap when you buy it by the ton.
Basically, chickens are a lot more efficient at turning vegetables into meat than pigs or cows are.

plus you get to use the bones for stock. besides that it takes like 4-5 minutes to butcher a chicken

If the chicken was roasted, I'll eat the meat tidbits from the carcass and use the bones for stock. Some of best meat is on the carcass.
