Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Data for annual chicken and turkey hatchery counts and incubator capacities are collected in January
from all known hatcheries which have the capacity to hold at least 1,000 chicken and/or turkey eggs. Approximately 300
chicken hatcheries are contacted for information on a weekly, monthly, and/or annual basis. While approximately 50
turkey hatcheries are contacted each month and/or annually. Individual NASS regional field offices maintain a list of all
known hatcheries and use known sources to update their lists. Hatcheries are mailed a questionnaire as close to the survey
reference date as possible and given adequate time to respond via mail, fax, or electronic data reporting (EDR). Those that
do not respond are contacted by phone. Care is exercised to ensure that all sampled hatcheries are accounted for in the
estimate.
Data for chicken hatchery estimates are collected based on type of chicken hatched. Broiler-type hatchery data are
collected weekly from all broiler-type hatcheries that hatch at least one million chicks a year. States receiving greater than
500,000 chicks annually for grow-out are included in Other States for chicks placed. Egg-type hatchery data are
collected monthly from all egg-type hatcheries that hatch at least 50,000 chicks a year. Data for turkey hatchery
estimates are collected monthly from turkey hatcheries hatching 15,000 or more poults annually.
Estimating Procedures: Sound statistical methodology is employed to derive the estimates from 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 intended
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. Broiler
chicks placed are specifically placed 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.
For turkey hatcheries, only United States level estimates for eggs in incubators, poults hatched, and net turkey
placements are published for all known turkey hatcheries hatching 15,000 or more poults annually. Net poults placed refer
to placement of poults from hatcheries in the United States, including imported poults and excluding exported poults.
Revision Policy: Revisions are generally the result of late or corrected data. Revisions made to any weekly or monthly
data during the year are published in this report.
Reliability: Hatchery estimates are based on a census of all known 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.
