Quail Keeper Max is a management platform built exclusively for quail farmers. From daily egg tracking to personalized advice, every feature is designed for the way you work.
Track every flock with detailed profiles. Monitor bird counts, species, age groups, housing, and status. Add notes, set alerts, and keep your entire operation organized in one place.
Log daily collections per covey — counts, damaged, average egg weight with sample size, and how many were celadon. Log every covey in one pass on a busy morning. Production charts, weekly lay rate, and your best producers at a glance.
Maintain complete health histories. Track treatments, vaccinations, wormings, and checkups — and when you log a dose from your medicine cabinet, Quail Keeper Max works out the withdrawal period and warns you on the Egg Collection page until those eggs are safe to sell or eat.
Track income from egg and bird sales alongside expenses for feed, supplies, and veterinary care. See profit and loss by flock, by month, or across your entire operation.
Manage breeding pairs, track lineage, and monitor genetic diversity. Log pairings, fertility rates, and offspring outcomes to build a stronger, more productive flock over generations.
Tag each bird's sire and dam and explore a clickable four-generation ancestor chart. Print or save clean pedigree cards for buyers and shows.
Run the Punnett square for any Coturnix pairing — recessive, dominant, incomplete-dominant, or sex-linked — and see genotype and phenotype ratios before you set an egg.
Monitor every incubation cycle from set to hatch. Log candling checks, track fertility and hatch rates by breeding pair, and identify what conditions produce the best results.
Track orders, reservations, customers, and payments. Mark an order paid and the income posts straight to your finances — no double entry. Keep a waitlist of people asking for birds or eggs you don't have yet, and print a receipt or a bill of sale for any order.
Run grow-out batches with weight logs, feed conversion (FCR), and dress-out percentages, plus a target process date so nothing grows past its prime. Say what a batch is for — meat, future layers, future breeders, or birds to sell — and a non-meat batch still gives you the growth curve and feed conversion, just without the processing step.
Map your cages, racks, pens, and brooders, assign flocks to them, and watch occupancy against capacity so you always know where there's room.
Keep vaccination logs, NPIP tests and certificates, permits, and biosecurity records with due-date and expiry reminders so you can sell and ship with confidence.
Your personal quail expert that knows YOUR flocks and YOUR data. Ask Captain Coturnix anything — from improving egg production to diagnosing health issues — and get advice tailored to your specific operation, not generic internet answers. He reads the whole logbook: lay rates, water, health alerts and withdrawal periods, incubation, candling and lockdown dates, pedigree, feed and medicine stock, losses, weights, your journal and waitlist — and the business side too: what sells, at what price, who buys twice, and your feed cost per dozen. He even leaves a short daily briefing on your dashboard.
Go beyond headcounts. Band ID, name, sex, hatch date, photo, and the plumage variety from all 18 Coturnix colour guides — plus celadon status, because the blue-egg gene is recessive and a carrier looks like nothing at all. Weigh a bird as often as you like and keep the whole curve, not one number that gets overwritten.
Collections tell you what came out of the cage. This tells you what you actually have. Log eggs sold, eaten, set for hatching, given away, broken, or discarded, and see the running total on hand. Sell eggs and they come straight out — an order for 8 dozen deducts 96, linked to the order, and puts them back if you delete it. Starting an incubation batch does the same, tagged to the covey the hen belongs to. You only log by hand what nobody else knows about.
Log feed purchases with exact totals — nothing rounds — and see what your eggs really cost. Feed cost per egg and per dozen sit right on your dashboard, calculated from your own 90 days of purchases and collections instead of a rule of thumb.
What is actually on your shelf: quantity, purchase and expiry dates, lot number, vendor, and the withdrawal period. Low-stock and expiry warnings so you find out before you need it, not after.
Incubators, brooders, feeders, waterers, cages, and scales — with condition, location, serial numbers, warranty end dates, and cleaning or service intervals that tell you what is overdue.
Record losses with a cause — illness, injury, predator, culled — so patterns show up while you can still do something about them. Your covey counts adjust with them.
Add your ZIP once and your dashboard shows local conditions and a 7-day forecast, with heat alerts at 95°F and freeze watches at 36°F. Captain factors the forecast into his advice.
Recurring chores, candling dates, lockdown and hatch day, all due on your dashboard. Tick one off and it is written to a history — what got done, when, and which cage — so you can finally answer "when did I last deep clean rack B?". The record outlives the reminder that prompted it.
Every other page records a number. This one records the reason — the power cut, the heat wave, the day you moved rack B outside. Tag entries in your own words, tie them to a covey or a bird, add a photo, and filter the thread back together months later when the numbers need explaining.
Badges across egg production, hatching, keeper streaks, covey building, bird care, and homestead business. Share one as a printable card or a link — proof of what your birds have done.
Print a card for any cage or covey with a QR code that opens its record on your phone. Scan it at the cage instead of trying to remember which pen was which once you are back inside.
Log water per covey per day. Birds go off water before they go off feed and well before laying drops, so a covey drinking noticeably less than usual is the earliest warning you get — which is why this sits on the Health page and not with feed.
The demand that never became an order: who asked for chicks, hatching eggs or started birds you didn't have yet, what they wanted, how many, and how long they have been waiting. Move them from waiting to offered to fulfilled instead of trusting a notes app.
A receipt proves payment. A bill of sale transfers ownership — the document a buyer of live birds wants, especially across a state line. Prints on letter paper with both parties, the birds sold, your NPIP number if you keep compliance records, as-is language, and signature lines.
Log a feed run by the mile at whatever rate you are claiming this year, plus insurance and repairs categories — the Schedule F lines a homestead business actually uses. Miles times your rate fills in the amount, and both numbers are kept exactly as you typed them.
See your entire operation at a glance. Production charts, health summaries, financial overviews, and breeding stats — all on one dashboard designed for quail farmers who want data-driven decisions.
