I track them by the color of egg they lay, those 2 are different from the others. There are columns on the sheet for Light brown, Dark Brown, White, Med Brown, and green. It is easy since those 2 from you each are the only ones who lay that particular color.
I got one for the neighbor I gave some chicks to, and one for myself, too. Too cute, and it makes it fun to compare. We each have 5 birds from that shipment.That is so cute! I got my puppies (now age 2) in an emergency rehome.. the lady i got them from would take them as puppies to the vet in mexico (cheaper while also refilling meds).. they do whole baby books for dogs there! Birthdate, weights, parents info, all the vaccine dates and vaccine vial stickers, but cute little passport book format. Wish they did that here.
I have the hatch dates and first lay dates in my Google calendarbut a cute book would be nicer.
I was pleasantly surprised that all my house chickens started laying on the early end of the range for their breeds. Hoping they will also have longevity too!
I love to see examples of all the records... then I make my own charts with similar categories to track on the 3-4-6-8 column accounting paper that I pick up at garage/estate sales for cheap/free. Egg tracker is evolving over the months since I'm tracking 4 flocks and then in each breeding flock I track the colors of eggs because I still have extra brown egg layers in with the breeders-- only white eggs of the breeders will be hatched. Sounds complicated but it's not.
I have seen that. I just did not feel the need, for 1 little incubator of mutt duck eggs! The white eggs stand out from my others, too.
Yes I agree it may be overkill for just a couple of hatches. Some things you can do include set up an intended hatch date and then it does the math counting backwards for diff types of poultry (not just chkn), calc hatch rates, set reminders to set eggs (candle, lockdown, etc) for that intended hatch date. Also you can export your records to a spreadsheet.
