Keeping Records

[FortCluck]

Get the HatchKeeper app to keep track of this.
It's super easy to navigate.

I think I have it already. I haven't used it yet though.

We were going to compare pricing too of grocery store meat we buy to meat we raise just as something fun to do.

So far we haven't even made a dent in the 50 lb bag we bought!

I can also help you make a spreadsheet if you want, just let me know exactly what you want tracked.

A 40-lb bag with my layer flock only last about 2 weeks i think it's because I have 4 large breed chickens and 4 ducks that are pigs.

No need to stress yourself out doing a spreadsheet. I'll figure something out.

I am basically seperating everything and looking for separate spreadsheets for different things.

Lol, in my world spreadsheets are fun. Honest. So, if you want one, let me know, otherwise you can do whatever works for you. Just don't feel bad about asking.

If you have links to spreadsheets

IMO, it's best to make your own spreadsheet, then you can amend, change, and adjust it as you go along...you're gonna want to do that, cause you won't know just what you want until you start to use it.

Indeed!
Tho I'm not a great user, they've done many the task for me over the years.

Another way to look at it is less is more. As you grow and acquire different blood and multiple lines per breed it can get overwhelming. I'm not saying a skeleton list but maybe think about what actually matters. As you start collecting information and breeding this to that then back to this it will snowball
