Any kind of software sharing for poultry magagement. I really liked the excel spreadsheet that Steve shared and I would like to find something that can keep track of incubation and petigree.

My thoughts for a couple of enhancements, and thank you in advance for your consideration:

1) AUCTIONS
> Add a separate section for 'Buy It Now', and a way that the auction doesn't automatically have to end if someone wants to buy. Everyone is having to say "don't hit the Buy It Now button", because it will end the listing, and if they have multiple birds, this is a problem.
> Add sub-categories under the Egg/Chick/Adult classifications for Bantam and LF, OR change the main categories to Bantam and LF, with Egg/Chick/Adult as the sub-categories.
> Add a place for "NPIP", and also show that on the main listings board, so we don't have to open auctions that we can't buy from.
> Add a link tab to the Auction forums either on the Home Page or top of Message Board.

2) MY PAGE
> I have several pages - I would like to be able to rename a couple of them.
> I have several pages - I would like to be able to re-arrange them, without having to delete them and start over.
> It would be great if there was an image gallery available so we could add some artwork to the pages - images, border graphics, etc.

3) SEARCH FUNCTION
> I use the search function a lot for specific words or phrases within topics, but when it brings up the topics/threads, I have to read thru pages and pages of posts. I would love to be able to go directly to the specific post. In lieu of going directly to the specific post, it would be great if it could highlight the text I'm searching for so I can find it easier.

Oh, and another thing. If I type in the search box matthewschickens. It comes up with all of the topics I've posted on! I would not like that to happen. I would like that if you type in the author the author comes up and if you type in the search box it should come up when your name comes up. Like it I type in matthewschickens in the search box the only things that come up are things like:
matthewschickens? Are you there?

Not my posts!

Thanks!

Matthew

I think for private messaging there should be the option to preview your response, and there should be a smiley box like there is when you are replying to a thread.

It may not be possible but sure would be neat.

"What is my Chicken Search"

Leg Color____
Egg Color____
Comb Type___
Body Size____
ect........

Searching....................

Your chicken may be one of the following ------White Rock, White Cochin, California White, ect...



Just an idea. May not be possible but, Thanks for this great site either way.
