Description
HatchKeeper is egg incubation software designed with the hobbiest hatchery in mind.
This app makes it easier to keep track of multiple batches and with the schedule hatch feature, staggered batches become easy to manage, even if they are of different types such as chicken and turkey.
Enter a start date or hatch date and HatchKeeper automatically calculates to other dates.
HatchKeeper automatically calculates hatch percentages, so you can compare your hatches. With Groups you can compare average percentages from different groups.
Some other features include: Text Reports for archiving and printing, Fully customizable Bird Types and Breeds, Groups, Graphs, and much more...

I've been using the app for about a year now and think it is great! I was looking for something that could keep track of chicken and duck groups in the incubator and notify me when I need to candle and go into lock down. It tells you % fertile and % hatched. Only thing I would add is a field for number that goes to lock down, so you can keep track % embryo loss.
★★★★★
I love this app. I use it to keep track of my reptile eggs. I deleted all the bird data and entered all of my different reptiles. I love how customizable it is. I would recommend this over hatch a batch for sure.
★★★★★
The update timely and put into consideration some of the issues faced by users But I will still suggest that you make options for the reduction of the egg logo that appear after registration of an event
★★☆☆☆
I like the app so far, but I really wish it had the option to log off any quit (died) during incubation, so I could keep track of that and also, so it will subtract from the total eggs and take away from the number of eggs in the incubator because it's confusing when I have multiple batches going, and it says I added 12 eggs and 11 were fertile then later on 2 dies, but it still says I have 11 in my incubator because it doesn't have an option to put 2 died. Add this and I'll change my rating.
★★☆☆☆
Not a full on review yet, but just wanted to say the looks of this app looks promising now that 'hatch a batch' is going away. Never heard of this app until now and I hope it works out! Will review soon. Only giving one star as I am forced to do so until I do a propper review.
