Setup a Breed

Problem: You need a new bird type in the system before you can create flocks or products for it.

  1. Click Hatches, open the menu on the Flocks bar, and choose Breeds.
  2. Click + next to Breeds.
  3. Enter the Name (e.g. Novogen Brown), a short ID (e.g. NVB), and Incubation Days (defaults to 21; change it for non-chicken species).
  4. (Optional) In the Production Template panel, add one row per week with a Projected Lay Rate and Projected Hatch Rate so availability projections work.
  5. Click Save.

The ID is what you type when searching for the breed elsewhere in the app — keep it short and consistent.
