What All Can I Keep Track Of?
There are four main areas you can keep track of for your flock:
- The Poultry (Chicken, Quail, and Ducks)
- The Eggs
- The Expenses (There are many)
- The Income (Not nearly enough)
The Poultry
As with previous years you can log as much or as little information about your flock as you want. Highlights include birth, deaths, lay dates and notes for ducks, chicken, and quail. The only required field is a date for laying if you want the hens of all species to average correctly. Don’t worry about perfection, I sometimes can only get a lay date within a couple of weeks depending on how many pullets I have going that year.The Eggs
Shooooo, folks really have opinions on this area. Track by size, color, species OR skip it all and just put your total eggs by day. We aim to please everyone in this area. So we added a Easy (EZ) option to simply track a total number of eggs per day. It also has an Easy Stats page that pares down all the detailed goodness if you want to keep it simple and sharp and will total your eggs, expenses, income, and profit by the year, month, and week: AUTOMATICALLY!Wow This Is Overwhelming, Where do I start?
First scroll down and make a copy of the sheet into your own Google Drive. Then follow the instructions on sheet one. Summaries and charts are automatically created from entering your chickens and eggs in the various tabs.

The Easy Option! We heard you and offered an EZ total so that you can track a simple “total egg” count in the first column of the egg tracker. We also made a Easy Stats sheet that gives you a much smaller view of just eggs, income, and expenses. You still get the breakdown by year, month, and week, but without all the clutter of statistics you don’t care about!How Do We Get Our Copy?!
