Hatch and Health Data Management

[The_Flower]

I’m not sure where to look outside of creating my own spreadsheet for this but how do you currently record hatch and health data, and what do you wish was easier? Is there an app that you use that would easily track my flock, feed, breed pairings, etc.?

I'm looking for something similar, but to track breeding stats and viability of chicks from various pairing. I haven't found anything particularly useful, so I'm using a spreadsheet.

@redinator Gotcha, any specific stats concerning breeding? Fertility, hatch rates…

Gotcha, any specific stats concerning breeding? Fertility, hatch rates…

I'm just getting started and my 2 oldest pullets are only 6 months so I'm holding off on incubating for now. One pullet starting gathering fake eggs today so she might decide to go broody.

I plan to leave a few eggs in the nest box and see if she sits on them, but she might just be toying with my emotions, lol.

So far the data I have is the color of the eggs my chicks hatched from, their breeds, ages etc. with pictures from hatch to current. The pictures are probably overkill, lol but I have them, so why not.

I did find these two apps after you posted the question . . .

Edit: neither of these are useful for breeding chickens.
