Supplementary notes

* Excludes inventory for eggs for processing and special permits.
Data on the number of layers is in relation to registered flocks. Registered flocks have to be registered with and provide information to Egg Farmers of Canada (EFC), the regulatory board for the egg producing industry.
Non-registered flocks are those with fewer birds than the limits set by the provincial egg marketing boards. These limits vary by province and can range from 100 to 500 birds approximately.
Figures have been rounded to provide a better understanding of the statistic.
