Production included 7.0 billion table eggs, and.05 billion hatching eggs, of which 972 million were broilertype and 73.7 million were eggtype. The average number of layers during February 208 totaled 384 million, up 2 from last year. February egg production per 00 layers was 2,2 eggs, down 2 from February 207. All layers in the United States on March, 208 totaled 386 million, up 3 from last year. The 386 million layers consisted of 324 million layers producing table or market type eggs, 57.9 million layers producing broilertype hatching eggs, and 3.49 million layers producing eggtype hatching eggs. Rate of lay per day on March, 208, averaged 76.0 eggs per 00 layers, down from March, 207. EggType Chicks Hatched Up 4 Percent Eggtype chicks hatched during February 208 totaled 50.5 million, up 4 from February 207. Eggs in incubators totaled 55.9 million on March, 208, up 7 from a year ago. Domestic placements of eggtype pullet chicks for future hatchery supply flocks by leading breeders totaled 53 thousand during February 208, down 5 from February 207. BroilerType Chicks Hatched Up Percent Broilertype chicks hatched during February 208 totaled 735 million, up from February 207. Eggs in incubators totaled 682 million on March, 208, up 2 from a year ago.

20 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 broilertype hatcheries that hatch at least one million chicks a year. Data for eggtype hatchery estimates are collected monthly from all eggtype 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 eggtype chicks hatched to chicken inventory and poultry marketings are carefully monitored. The disposition of eggtype 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 age 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, greatgrandparents, pedigree, etc. Also included are research flocks, vaccine flocks, and specific pathogenfree flocks. The broiler cumulative potential placements are a moving total of the intended placements 75 months earlier. The eggtype cumulative potential placements of 78 months earlier represent the first laying cycle. Molting and additional laying cycles will increase the cumulative potential placements of eggtype 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 5year 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 all layers over the past 24 months is.5. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final estimate will not be above or below the current estimate of 384 million layers by more than.5. Chances are 9 out of 0 that the difference will not exceed. 20 Chickens and Eggs (March 208)
