Description

CHICKIMPNUM reports the number of improved (or non-indigenous) chickens owned by the household. The complementary variable CHICKIMPYN indicates whether the household owned any improved chickens.

The related variables CHICKYN and CHICKNUM indicate whether the household owned chickens (without the "improved" qualifier) and, if yes, how many.

The information in CHICKIMPNUM is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

CHICKIMPNUM has no comparability problems.
