🚀 Just launched something I’ve been building for our own farm — iHatch (https://www.ihat.ch)
Running Hogg’s Heaven means tracking bloodlines, incubations, hatch rates, health, expenses, and shipping birds/eggs. Spreadsheets were getting messy. So I built the all-in-one tool I actually wanted:
• Full flock records (band ID, generation, line, hatch date, etc.)
• Family trees & pairings so we can plan the next generation with confidence
• Incubation batches with candling logs and hatch-rate tracking
• Egg production analytics, weight & health logs, show results
• Expense tracking per bird or across the whole operation
• Tasks + journal so nothing gets forgotten on the 5-acre farm
And the part I’m most excited about for Hogg’s Heaven:
Marketplace + Social
List birds or eggs for sale, manage shipping and orders, and chat directly with buyers — all inside the app. Every farm gets a public profile page (custom URL, farm logo, reviews). You can post about what’s hatching, what’s available, or just share life on the farm and actually connect with other breeders instead of bouncing between Facebook groups and random DMs.
It’s free to start, cloud-synced, and built for people who take their flocks seriously.

Would love feedback from other farm folks. What’s the one record-keeping headache you wish would just disappear?
