Terms and Definitions of Chickens and Eggs Estimates

Total Layers includes both table egg and hatching egg flocks regardless of size.

Intended Placements are reported by leading breeders. Coverage may not be 100 percent. Includes expected pullet chicks

from eggs sold during the preceding month at the rate of 125 pullet chicks per case of 30 dozen eggs.

Molted Layers is the same data series as the previously published Forced Molt Layers. Nomenclature changed as of

January 2015.


Statistical Methodology

Survey Procedures: Primary data for the Chickens and Eggs report are from weekly and/or monthly questionnaires sent

to producers. An attempt is made to collect information for layer and egg estimates from each known contractor and

independent producer who has at least 30,000 table egg layers, flocks of hatchery supply layers, or pullet only operations

with at least 500 pullets. Coverage for operations with less than 30,000 table egg layers are estimated each month based

on data reported in December. Approximately 500 contractors, independent egg producers, and pullet only operations are

contacted each month. Data for broiler hatchery estimates are collected weekly from all broiler-type hatcheries that hatch

at least one million chicks a year. Data for egg-type hatchery estimates are collected monthly from all egg-type hatcheries

that hatch at least 50,000 chicks a year.

Estimating Procedures: Sound statistical methodology is employed to derive estimates from the reported data. All data

are analyzed for unusual values. Data from each operation are compared to their own past operating profile and to trends

from similar operations. Data for missing operations are estimated based on similar operations or historical data. NASS

regional field offices prepare these estimates by using a combination of survey indications and historic trends. Individual

State estimates are reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board for reasonableness.

For chicken hatcheries, chicks hatched consist of all chicks of domesticated breeds including males and chicks destined

for hatchery supply flocks and research purposes. Eggs set are eggs in incubators for the purpose of hatching. The

relationship of egg-type chicks hatched to chicken inventory and poultry marketings are carefully monitored. The

disposition of egg-type chicks hatched prior to placement into the laying flock can vary significantly, which can make

comparisons to changes in layer inventory inconsistent over time. Broiler chicks placed are specifically for meat

production. Intended placement data reported by leading breeders include pullet chicks expected from eggs sold the

preceding month. The breeders in this report account for a large percentage of replacement pullets for hatchery supply

flocks. Production of replacement pullets by these breeders indicates the number of pullets available to hatchery supply

layer flocks several months before the pullets will actually move into the laying flocks. “Hatchery Supply Flocks” include

all generations of layers which could lay eggs to supply a hatchery. This includes the generations of parents, grandparents,

great-grandparents, pedigree, etc. Also included are research flocks, vaccine flocks, and specific pathogen-free flocks. The

broiler cumulative potential placements are a moving total of the intended placements 7-15 months earlier. The egg-type

cumulative potential placements of 7-18 months earlier represent the first laying cycle. Molting and additional laying

cycles will increase the cumulative potential placements of egg-type hatching flocks.

Revision Policy: The previous month's estimates are subject to revision if late reports or corrected data indicates a

different level. Additionally, revisions after the monthly report will be made at the end of the marketing year and

published in the annual reports of Chickens and Eggs Summary and Hatchery Production Summary. Estimates will also be

reviewed for chickens and eggs after data from the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions will be made

after that date.

Reliability: Estimates are based on a census of all known contractors and independent producers who have at least 30,000

table egg layers, flocks of hatchery supply layers, pullet only operations with at least 500 pullets, or operating hatcheries

and therefore, have no sampling error. However, estimates are subject to errors such as omission, duplication, and

mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are

minimized through strict quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for

consistency and reasonableness.

To assist in evaluating the reliability of the estimates in this report, the “Root Mean Square Error” is shown for selected

items in the following table. The “Root Mean Square Error” is a statistical measure based on past performance and is

computed using the differences between first and final estimates. The “Root Mean Square Error” for total layers over the

past 24 months is 0.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be above or below the

current estimate of 385 million layers by more than 0.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 that the difference will not

exceed 0.4 percent.
