64 Chickens and Eggs 2015 Summary (February 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Primary data for the "Chickens and Eggs" report are from 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 Agricultural Census data and data reported in December. Approximately 500 contractors, independent egg producers,
and pullet only operations are contacted each month.
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
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.
Revision Policy: The previous 24 month's estimates are subject to revision if late reports or corrected data indicates a
different level. Estimates will also be reviewed after data from the Department of Agriculture five-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, and pullet only operations with at least 500 pullets 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.
Terms and Definitions of Chickens and Eggs Estimates
All Layers includes both table egg and hatching egg flocks regardless of size.
Molted Layers is the same data series as the previously published Forced Molt Layers. Nomenclature changed as of
January 2015.
