This is a 5-digit variable that represents the number of chickens owned by the household, except for the following codes:
99990 = Logical edit
99996 = Not interviewed (household questionnaire)
99997 = Don't know
99998 = No response
99999 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
CHICKENNUM reports the number of chickens owned by the household.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from CHICKENHOME (the number of chickens on the homestead, which may or may not be owned by the household).
Enumerators were instructed to code "Don't know" or "No response" cases as -88 and -99, respectively. However, in some samples, a select number of enumerators recorded an unexpectedly high number of 88 and 99 values for livestock variables. We believe the majority of these cases were intended to represent "don't know" and "no responses" instead of indicating a number of livestock. IPUMS has recoded these cases to "Logical edit - missing".
The question associated with this variable was included in the household questionnaire.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, CHICKENNUM varies slightly across samples in question wording. Most samples asked about the ownership of chickens specifically, but some samples included other domestic fowl in the same question.
