What the app does
You record on the spot; the app works out the rest. Each card links to the handbook chapter that describes it.
Enter your equipment once
You set trays and days for each incubator, places and days for brooders and cages. The app won't take more than fits: no extra eggs in a tray, no extra chicks in a brooder.
Ready in ten minutes — incubators, brooders, locationsSeveral batches at once
Eggs in the incubator, chicks in the brooder, young birds in the cages: each batch keeps its own day count, losses and sale. You see by day how full incubators, brooders and cages are.
What QuailBreeder is — and what it is notBatch dates in your calendar
Transfer, hatch, move to the cages, batch ready for slaughter: all of it is in the day's task list. If you wish, the app adds them to iCloud or Google Calendar and sends a notification.
Dates, reminders and your own calendarLosses with date, time and place
You enter a loss where it happened — tray, brooder or cage — with date and time. The app counts losses during incubation as a percentage of the eggs set.
Rearing: the first weeks and the daily recordCocks and hens separately
From the move to the cages you enter cocks and hens separately, both when they come in and when they leave. Part of a batch can go to the breeding flock: there is a separate step for that.
Stock, cages and stocking densityCustomers and orders
You create a customer once: name, address, phone. In the order you pick cages and number of birds, by weight or per bird; the total is worked out for you. For yourself: “for myself”.
Sales and invoicing
From egg to sale
- 01
Incubation
Set a batch of eggs into an incubator. The app counts the days and reminds you when to turn off the turner and when to move the eggs to the hatcher. With a setter, you also plan the hatcher trays.
How to incubate quail eggs — a guide from day 1 to the hatchQuail eggs hatch after around 17 days: which eggs are suitable, how to set up the incubator, and when to turn, candle, transfer and wait out the hatch.
- 02
Hatching
Enter how many chicks hatched in each tray and which brooder they go to. The app shows the first figure of the batch: hatched chicks as a share of the eggs set.
- 03
Brooding
Record losses day by day and note changes in feed or warmth. When losses rise, the notes show what changed.
Raising quail chicks — the first four weeksWarmth, dry bedding and shallow water decide the first weeks — with temperatures per week, stocking density, feeder and drinker space, and the move before laying starts.
- 04
Feeding
When the young birds move on, choose Feeding in the batch tasks, pick the location and fill the cages that are free that day. Losses are recorded here too.
Feeding quail — what to feed at which age, and what you can skipWhich feed quail need at which age, why the form of the feed matters, how much water they need, and which supplements are unnecessary or actually harmful.
- 05
Slaughter
When the batch is ready, create a processing order. It also serves as the sales order and is the basis for the invoice.
Slaughtering and processing quail — preparation, procedure, hygieneWithholding feed, workspace and tools, the procedure in steps, plucking or skinning, drawing, chilling and ageing — and what to clarify with the office first.
- 06
Selling
The invoice comes from your own template. Once a batch has no birds left, it moves to the archive.
Selling quail eggs and birds — what to clarify beforehandThe routes of sale, the questions for the veterinary office and the local regulatory office, an honest costing with your own figures, packaging and records.
