Hmmmm.... I think it's pretty good, although a few things I might do to it:

1. Where it says egg number, split cell (or whatever its called) and put name there, instead of having it on the other side of the page (it'd look more organized IMHO

2. Obviously delete the name part, because you've replaced it... And replace it with... I dunno... Maybe individual comments? Not sure on that one :3

3. With the dates, it might make for easier filing and reference if you put the year on the top of each page (handwritten) and have the dates as day/month instead of day/month/year

 

Those are my ideas... Not sure if they're really that useful, but you know

Thanks I made up one of these

[Flip-trainer 0]

No problems I just thought that it was a bit of a waste of space having a whole section for both the name and egg number It does seem good to have individual comments? So then you can write down any problems like death in shells (or whatever it's called) or hairline cracks or infertile or fertile

 

I hope you like the changes I made to it

[dillster 0]

Dis (dead in shel)

[Flip-trainer 0]

So close...

I think it is very good Dillster. Perhaps I would add Round number, Ring number of chicks, variety of chicks and also I would leave a few extra spaces at bottom for egg number because I have had many hens lay 10-14 eggs.

Nice job.

 

I might add that "date laid" is probably more useful than "date candled". Knowing when the first egg is laid can be good enough, if you assume the rest are laid every other day, but occasionally a hen varies. Sometimes there are problems when they hatch, and it can be useful to see at a glance what date the last one or two were laid, when you are trying to decide how long to keep waiting on them.

So like this Finnie?

[Finnie 0]

Looks good.

 

What is "moved to" for?

 

I also just remembered that I like to write down the color of the chicks eyes when it hatches. Plum ones will turn to black after a little while, so it's helpful to remember which chick it was. That could easily go in comments. But on mine, I have a space for eye color.

[Flip-trainer 0]

I don't get moved to either unfortunately :/

?

I think he means if he had to move an egg to another pair for fostering.

 

But your chart looks really good, i might have to copy it if you dont mind
