A breeding notebook tells you which pair you set. It can't tell you which pair hatches best, or which chick in the brooder came from it. Quail Keeper Max links the pair, the eggs, the hatch and the chicks, so the answer is already there when you pick next season's breeders.
Start Your Breeding RecordsFrom the pair to the chick, nothing has to be re-typed.
Name a pair and link the actual sire and dam from your bird records. Those two links are what build the family tree.
Set date, eggs set, candling results, hatched. Fertility updates itself from the candling log.
Complete a hatch and tick one box. Every chick arrives with sire and dam already set.
Click through any bird’s ancestors and its offspring list.
Band ID, variety from all 18 Coturnix color guides, and celadon carrier status, because a carrier looks like nothing at all.
A Certificate of Pedigree with a QR code back to the live record, for buyers and shows.
Sample data, not a real flock.

Chicks from each set carry this pair as sire and dam in their own records.
So you keep the pairs that produce, and judge them on several sets rather than one.
Including eggs you bought. A bought egg has no bird record, so this is the only way it can be compared.
The color-genetics calculator runs any Coturnix pairing, recessive, dominant or sex-linked.
A notebook holds the pair. It won't tell you Pair 3 has hatched 15 points worse than Pair 1 all spring, and it can't print a pedigree for the buyer standing at your gate. Quail Keeper Max does both, and Captain Coturnix, your personal quail advisor, reads the same records when you ask him which pair to keep.
Which male and female were paired, when eggs were set, how many were fertile at candling, how many hatched, and which chicks came from which pair. The last one is what most notebooks lose.
Record the source pair when you start a batch. Log candling and the final count. Compare pairs across several sets, not one hatch.
Yes. Tag each bird’s sire and dam and the four-generation chart builds itself. Chicks logged from a completed hatch arrive with both parents already set.
