Cartel implies a degree of collusion.
Oligopoly seems like the most accurate word choice.

"American chicken oligopoly" just doesn't have the same ring to it, lol

I would be surprised if there wasn't collusion.

cartels are inherently unstable and very hard to maintain, plus it's outlawed. I'd be surprised if there is one.

They are not so hard to maintain when everyone acts rationally. You don't need overt collusion as long as everyone acts in a consistent manner and doesn't try to compete.
