       Foster and Breeder Records
       By: Clint Cagle Date: February 9, 2011, 10:27 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Does anyone have a record sheet or computer database that they
       use to keep up with the following that they would like to share?
       
       -when breeders lay
       -when fosters lay
       -which fosters are sitting on which breeders eggs.
       I'm just looking for ideas.
       Thanks

       Hello Clint, here is a link to a form I designed for my foster
       and regular breeding system. I have been using it for years. I
       am slowly putting together a complete system that can be
       purchased here. Since you asked for a form, I thought I would
       let you take a peek at it here. If you want a copy of the form
       from my system there is a modest charge for a download.

       Tony,
       
       Are you working on forms or a database as well?   Being in I.T.
       i'm hesitant to use any of the online databases as I've seen in
       my profession what happens when the host party goes belly up.
       
       Getting started again in the hobby I would like to use a little
       technology to manage the pedigrees instead of trying to decipher
       my very poor penmanship.
       
       Mark

       Hi Mark, the current system is paper, it is contained in a
       binder. Each year I start a new binder. With this record keeping
       system, my binders go back to 2006. So I have been using it for
       6 years. Works great, especially if you do not want a
       computerized system.
       I have it already in the works to develop a stand alone computer
       program. The main hindrance is development funds. I have a few
       small financial obligations I would like to get out of the way
       first before I commit funds to this project. Now if someone
       wants to invest in a project, feel free to contact me with an
       offer... :D

       [/quote]i realize this is an old thread, just wanted to share an
       idea on it ...
       
       I use an ultrafine tip sharpie marker and write on the egg,
       which pair laid it and the date laid. I write in a note book
       which pair the donor is, who is the foster, how many (eggs or
       babies) and then eventually the band number.  By writing on the
       eggs it helps me to anticipate hatching dates, check for
       fertillity and developement and reminds me where things are in
       case I forget to write it down immediately (which I have to do
       else i forget to write it at all)
