Breed Ledger
001. For poultry breeders.

Documented lines. Provable lineage. One record

A show-quality breeding bird sells on the line behind it and the paperwork you can show. On most farms that lives in a hatch notebook, three spreadsheets, and a Facebook post that scrolled away last spring. Breed Ledger holds the pedigree, the health records, and a public page for every bird in your flock. Built by a working multi-species breeder.

002. On record.

Poultry goes live soon

There is no flock count on this page because there is nothing honest to count yet. Breed Ledger has been running dog and reptile programs for a while, and the poultry side opens with the same schema underneath. When flocks are on record here, the strip below shows the number. Not before.

003. Pedigree.

A line a buyer can read without calling you

Link a hen and a rooster once. Every chick, every grand-offspring, and every future pairing in the flock inherits the connection.

  • Multi-generation pedigree lines rendered from the records you already entered. Nothing to redraw.
  • Hen and rooster linking that cascades. Fix a hen's record once and every descendant in the flock reads correctly.
  • Registry fields captured on the bird: APA and ABA breed standards, leg-band and wing-band numbers, and hatch dates.
  • Export any bird's pedigree to PDF or CSV the moment a buyer asks for a copy.

004. Health and NPIP.

NPIP status and weights on the bird, not across five spreadsheets

One row per bird, and everything that ever happened to that bird hangs off it. Dated, sourced, and ready when a buyer asks whether the flock tested clean.

  • NPIP and disease-panel results dated and attached to the bird that was actually tested.
  • Hatch weight, growth weights, and lay dates plotted over time instead of guessed at.
  • Pairing dates and pen assignments tied to the hen and the rooster the eggs came from.
  • Vaccination, worming, and show placements logged with the dates a buyer will ask about.

005. Your flock, public.

Every bird gets a page. Every hatch gets an announcement

A buyer three states away should be able to see the flock, the lineage, and what is coming, without joining a Facebook group and scrolling.

  • A public flock site with your birds, your available stock, and your pedigree lines. It is built from the records, so it is never out of date.
  • Each upcoming hatch gets a live page with dates, the pairing, and a waitlist that holds its place in line.
  • Buyers reach the pedigree and the health record from the same page they found the listing on.
  • Inquiries land in one inbox with the bird already attached, so you are not reconstructing which one they meant.

006. QR codes.

A pen card that answers the question you are tired of answering

Print a QR for any bird and put it where the bird stands. It resolves to that bird's live profile, pedigree, and records.

  • Pen cards, coop cards, and show displays. Same code, same live page.
  • A buyer at the pen scans and reads pedigree, weights, and NPIP dates while you finish the conversation you are already in.
  • Update the record and the card is current. Nothing to reprint before the next swap meet.
  • Show-coop entries carry the same code, so a printed cage number still leads back to the record.

008. Common questions.

What flocks ask before they move the records over.

Does Breed Ledger work with my registry?
Breed Ledger stores leg-band and wing-band numbers, breed-standard notes, and hatch dates as fields on the bird, and exports them to PDF and CSV. It does not file registrations or show entries with the APA or ABA on your behalf. The registry and the standard stay the authority on the breed.
Can I keep chickens, ducks, and turkeys on one account?
Yes. One flock, one login, however many species. The schema is species agnostic, so records stay correct per bird and the flock view filters by species when you only want to look at the ducks.
What does free for 10 animals cover?
Everything on this page, for your first 10 birds: pedigrees, health and NPIP records, the public flock site, and QR codes. No card to start. Pricing begins when bird 11 goes on record, and you will see the price before that happens.
Can I track by hatch group instead of every chick?
Both work. Manage a pen by hatch group until selection happens, then create individual records for the birds you retain. The hatch stays linked to the pairing either way, so lineage is intact when you promote a keeper to its own record.
I have years of this in a spreadsheet already.
Import it. Columns map to fields once, and hen and rooster links get built from the band numbers already in your sheet. Anything that will not map cleanly gets flagged for you to look at rather than guessed at.
