Keeping health records for your chickens is very important for good flock maintenance. Your flock will grow and as it does, you will find that you won't be able to remember everything like you thought you could. Hatch dates, individual chicken health records, flock health records, egg counts, profit and loss, and even show dates in poultry shows can get a little blurry over time. Accurate records may not seem important to you when you first start out, but just like parents keep their children's health and shot records, or pet owners keep records of their pets health and shot records, chicken health and vaccination records are vitally important to keeping up with your flock health and maintenance.

Keep your own flock record to monitor the general health of your flock. If you notice any abnormal health issues, investigate them right away. Things you should monitor are general physical condition, feed consumption, daily egg production, egg quality, fertility, and whether the eggs can be hatched. For SPF records you will need to maintain flock records for at least 5 years and any abnormal health issues will need to be reported to the users of the eggs as soon as possible. Records should be kept from the time the chick was hatched or from the time you got your birds.
Records should include:
Hatch date/Arrival date:
Breed:
Name:
Age (approx. age):
