Description
CHICKIMPYN indicates whether the household owned any improved (or non-indigenous) chickens. The complementary variable CHICKIMPNUM reports how many improved chickens the household owned.
The related variables CHICKYN and CHICKNUM indicate whether the household owned chickens or other poultry (without the "improved" qualifier) and, if yes, how many.
The information in CHICKIMPYN 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.
