The hatch reported is from eggs set 3 weeks previously, so the set and hatch for one month are not comparable. 4 Placement of broiler and roaster chicks New in 1994, totals of all broiler and roaster commercial chicks hatched and placed in the province or moved into that province from another province or from another country. It does not include broiler-type chicks placed in small lots. It does not include chicks exported - either commercial or breeders. 5 Placement of broiler chicks for small lots Totals of broiler chicks hatched and sold in small lots in that province or moved into that province from another province.
Small lots are largely seasonal, and represent a small percentage only of broiler chick placements.
These are chicks which are purposely destroyed because there is no market for them, either because of their sex, or because the demand has been over estimated. These tables show interprovincial movement of products 'from' a province and'to' another province. The figure in the bottom right hand corner of the provincial reports shown as 'from' the Atlantic Provinces and 'to' the Atlantic Provinces, represents movement within the Atlantic provinces, i.e., between Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. These numbers are included in 'Placement of egg production chicks' Table 2. They do not include breeders or imported chicks.
