Clutch Tracking & Incubation Guide

The Clutches page helps you track every clutch from lay date through hatch day.

Logging a new clutch:

Select the sire and dam from your collection

Enter the lay date and total egg count (fertile, infertile, slugs)

Set incubation temperature and humidity targets

The system auto-calculates expected hatch date and creates a countdown

Monitoring during incubation:

Track individual egg status at each weekly check

Monitor incubation conditions (temperature, humidity)

View expected morph outcomes based on parent genetics

Get alerts when hatch window approaches

Status tracking:

Incubating — Eggs in the incubator, countdown active

Hatching — Within the hatch window, pipping expected

Hatched — All viable eggs have hatched

Failed — Clutch did not produce viable hatchlings

Important: Always verify incubation conditions with physical thermometer/hygrometer readings. Never rely solely on digital displays.
