Track every breeder flock from chick placement to hatching eggs, with cost and performance per flock.

Hatchery Management Software
Plan egg placements, run setters and hatchers at capacity, and trace every chick back to its breeder flock.
01What changes
What changes with PoultryOS Hatchery
Machines at capacity, not on a calendar
Egg placement planning and machine utilisation reports replace manual calendars, so setters and hatchers run full.
Hatchability you can explain
Candling and breakout analysis per breeder flock show where hatch is lost, between fertility, early death and late death.
Alerts before a cabinet fails
Temperature and humidity readings from setters and hatchers raise alerts the moment they drift.
02Features by workflow
Hatchery: features by workflow
STAGE 01
Receive and plan
Cold room inventory
Track hatching egg receipts, storage age and movements in the cold room, so procurement for setting is under control.
Egg placement planning
Generate the placement plan from orders and machine capacity. No manual calculation, no calendar on the wall.
Machine utilisation
Schedule reports show setter and hatcher occupancy ahead of time and highlight gaps.
STAGE 02
Set and hatch
21-day hatchery life cycle
Manage each set from setting through transfer to hatching with the standard timeline and checkpoints.
Daily reading captures
Log temperature and humidity per machine, manually or from IoT-connected cabinets, with alerts on deviation.
Hatch performance
Record candling results and run breakout analysis for hatch calculations per set and per breeder flock.
STAGE 03
Deliver
Chick sales and delivery
Plan chick sales against hatch output, allocate to customers or integration branches and generate dispatch documents.
Hatching contracts
For hatching-as-a-service, calculate invoices and incentives per purchase contract.
STAGE 04
Maintain and analyse
Equipment maintenance
Manage AMCs and maintenance schedules per machine to protect uptime and hatch results.
Flock performance
Trace hatch results back to the breeder flock to evaluate consistency and inform breeder decisions.

05FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which incubator brands can send readings automatically?
Cabinets that expose readings through a controller or gateway can be connected. Share your make and model on a demo call and we will confirm.
Can we run multi-stage and single-stage machines together?
Yes. Machines are configured individually with their own capacity and cycle, and the placement plan accounts for both.
Do independent hatcheries need the breeder module?
No. The Hatchery module runs on its own. Breeder flock traceability is available when the egg source is also on PoultryOS.
