Livestock
Pick a purpose: layers, broilers, or dual-purpose birds
Match breed and batch plan to eggs, meat, or mixed backyard flocks — including indigenous strains.
Pick a purpose
Egg flocks, meat batches, and mixed backyard groups need different clocks.
- Layers — grow to about 18–20 weeks, then eggs. Track hen-day %, not a 42-day harvest.
- Broilers — all-in/all-out meat cycle. Target weight or day, then process.
- Dual-purpose / indigenous — slower growth. Do not judge Kuroiler, Sasso, Fayoumi, or Baladi against a commercial broiler curve.
Record purpose on the flock when you place the batch. Use that purpose for stages, FCR, and tips.
