Lineage TrackerFor animals
Pedigrees, pairings, hatch dates and health records.
For poultry, goats, rabbits and other small-scale breeding: every animal, its family line, its care and its offspring. Tap any feature to see how it works and where to find it.
The example opens separately from your own records, so explore freely.

Keep each breed with its source, and track hatching eggs or young stock with amounts and dates.
Where: Library › Variety or breed
Breed groupsChickens with chickens, goats with goats.All modes
Sort breeds into groups such as Chicken or Goat, from a starter list or your own. Rename, merge or delete groups, tap one to see only that group in the Library, and offspring take their group from their parents.
Where: Library › Breeds › Manage groups
Flocks and groupsA pen of hens as one entry.All modes
Record a flock or pen as a group, so feed, worming and egg collection are logged once. Pick out a bird to track for breeding any time.
Where: Animals tab › Add a group
Your animalsEach animal with its own record and IDs.All modes
Every animal gets a code, photo timeline and notes, plus ring or band, microchip and registration numbers.
Where: Animals tab › Add an animal
My farm pageEverything you set up, in one place.All modes
The fence button at the top of the screen opens My farm: pens and paddocks, weather, medicines and feeds, products like eggs and milk, breeds, reminders and backups, each with a count and a quick add button.

Works out due dates for about 17 kinds of livestock and poultry. For eggs, add the date they were set to get reminders to candle at day 7 and stop turning three days before hatch.
Where: Record a pairing › Due list
Litters, weigh-ins and egg logsProduction records you can compare.Breeder (or switch on Projects in Settings)
Add record types from templates: litters, weigh-ins, egg logs (per hen or per pen) and show results. Compare animals side by side.
Where: Open a project › Record types
Inbreeding checksKnow the inbreeding before you pair.Breeder
Shows the inbreeding figure for each animal and for any planned pairing, with green, amber and red levels, and suggests the lowest-inbreeding partner for each female.
Where: Open a project › Cross planner
Bloodline chartYour line's family tree.Breeder
See where every animal came from and how much of each founder it carries. Tap one to trace its ancestors and descendants.
Where: Open a project › Bloodline chart
Pedigree certificatesPrintable three-generation pedigrees.Seed saver and Breeder

Where: Open an animal › Pedigree
Clutches, litters and hatchesEggs set, fertile, hatched, or born and weaned.Seed saver and Breeder
Record a hatch or birth from a pairing and the percentages are worked out. Then add the chicks or kids in one tap, each with its tag and both parents, or as a group until they're tagged.
Where: Open a pairing › Record a hatch or birth
Colour genetics calculatorWhat colours will the chicks be?Breeder
Pick the genes and each parent, and see the expected offspring, like 50% blue, 25% black, 25% splash. Handles sex-linked traits like barring, and saves the prediction to a planned pairing.
Where: Open a project › Colour genetics calculator
Breeding planPlan pairings and generations ahead of time.Breeder
Lay a project out in time periods, add the animals you start with and boxes for ones still to be chosen, and draw the pairings you are thinking about. Dotted lines are planned; a pairing turns solid when you record it from the line. A pen or flock can be a box of its own. Deleting part of a plan never deletes your real animals or records.
Where: Projects tab › Open a project › Breeding plan
Goals and selectionBreed towards a written goal.Breeder
Set a goal with target traits, score animals against it, and see progress from one generation to the next.
Where: Projects tab › New project
Care
Medicines, wormers and feedsTreatments with withholding periods.All modes
Set up each product once with its withholding period before eggs, milk or meat. Log it for one animal or a whole pen. It shows "no eggs until" dates, repeat reminders such as worming every three months, and season totals.
Where: My farm › Inputs
How much to give or mixRead the label once, then get the amount for any size.All modes
Scan a product label (or copy and paste it with Claude or ChatGPT) and the printed rate is saved, such as 5 mL per litre of water. Then pick or type a size, in litres, gallons, kg or lb, and see how much the label rate works out to. There is also a stand-alone calculator, and the app remembers your last size. Always follow the label and your vet.
