What do you use to keep breeding records? Is there a book I can purchase to record my crosses. Do you make your own? When I bred dogs. I kept a computer spreadsheet with each dog's faults and strengths. I recorded the outcomes and made a binder with each dog's 7 generation pedigree, historical champions, hunting style, etc. Show wins and hunt wins were recorded. Color photos of each dog helped too. I carefully made crosses and kept detailed pedigrees. Everything was planned. With chickens you don't have pedigrees at the onset. I want to make one. Keep careful records of each bird's faults and work to correct them in each successive breeding. I think it will be important to detail each bird's traits recessive, sex linked, and dominant. So I can plan ways to improve my lines.
