64 Chickens and Eggs 2017 Summary (February 2018) 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.
