What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: One house, one month, one line a day: birds at the start of the day, deaths and culls, feed and water used, the house temperature range, eggs collected and any birds or eggs moved.

It shows the change; your vet reads it. No temperature, feed or water figures are printed: your flock's targets come from the breed guide, your vet or your contract. The record is there to show a change, such as a rise in deaths or a fall in feed, water or eggs, while it is early. If you suspect disease, call your vet and check the reporting rules where you are.

Questions

Why are no target temperatures or feed figures printed?

Because they depend on the species, the breed, the age of the birds and the house, and come from the breed guide, your vet or your contract. What this record shows is the change from one day to the next, which is the early warning.

How is this different from the egg production record?

The egg production record follows a small flock's lay through the month. This sheet is the daily house record: numbers, losses, feed, water, temperature and movements as well as eggs.
