Poultry Pro App Explained: Using Data, Genetics & Technology to Breed Better Birds | Poultry Nerds Podcast

Backyard Chickens & Coturnix Quail: Incubating Hatching Eggs and Chicken Breeding

In this episode of the Poultry Nerds Podcast, we’re joined by Brie—agricultural engineering student, software developer, and creator of the Poultry Pro app—to explore how data, genetics, and technology are transforming modern poultry breeding.

Brie shares how her background in agricultural engineering and livestock systems led her from managing endless spreadsheets to building Poultry Pro, a powerful yet easy-to-use platform designed specifically for poultry keepers. Whether you raise backyard chickens, quail, or large breeding flocks, this episode breaks down how tracking the right information can save time, improve results, and increase profitability.

We cover how Poultry Pro helps poultry breeders:

  • Track egg production, fertility, hatchability, and feed usage
  • Manage individual birds, flocks, pedigrees, and genetic traits
  • Monitor health checks and condition scores before problems arise
  • Calculate cost per egg, cost per bird, and overall farm profitability
  • Export financial data for Schedule F and farm records
  • Benchmark performance against real breeder averages

We also discuss the challenges of building agricultural apps, why mobile apps matter for today’s breeders, and how data-driven decision-making leads to stronger, healthier birds.

If you want to stop guessing and start breeding with confidence, this episode is packed with practical insight and real-world poultry knowledge you can apply immediately.

00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:41.030
And we're alive.

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:49.310
We're here with Brie and she is going to tell us today about Poultry Pro.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:51.259
Hi, Bri.

00:00:51.710 --> 00:00:52.460
Hello.

00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:53.689
It's been a while.

00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:55.129
Yes.

00:00:55.310 --> 00:00:57.350
Because you're fixing to graduate, right?

00:00:57.350 --> 00:00:57.920
You're almost done.

00:00:58.760 --> 00:00:59.060
Yes, I am.

00:00:59.060 --> 00:01:04.340
I've got one semester left if all goes well and at River Falls, and then I'll be.

00:01:04.935 --> 00:01:05.414
Out of there.

00:01:06.254 --> 00:01:06.674
What do you have?

00:01:06.674 --> 00:01:08.894
Like an 8.0 GPA or something?

00:01:10.605 --> 00:01:11.085
Oh gosh.

00:01:11.085 --> 00:01:20.504
I don't think any engineer has above a 3.75 in our university, but definitely, yeah.

00:01:20.534 --> 00:01:22.775
I'm this, the second or third degree?

00:01:24.355 --> 00:01:25.210
Degree forest.

00:01:25.349 --> 00:01:26.159
Which one is this?

00:01:26.219 --> 00:01:29.400
Didn't you get your first like college degree when you were.

00:01:30.170 --> 00:01:30.700
High school?

00:01:30.704 --> 00:01:35.694
Not, I took enough college credits to get my college degree, like an associate's degree.

00:01:36.085 --> 00:01:41.680
But I was going to Michigan Tech and none of'em transferred, so That's awesome.

00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:42.319
Yeah.

00:01:42.810 --> 00:01:44.760
It was a lot of experience.

00:01:44.859 --> 00:01:47.079
Let's just say I learned calculus really good.

00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:48.905
Went and took it all over again.

00:01:48.909 --> 00:01:50.920
Times nobody can take, but man, I love this so much.

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:51.840
I'm doing it again.

00:01:52.165 --> 00:01:52.734
Exactly.

00:01:53.155 --> 00:01:57.415
Nobody can take away your NASA design from your story list.

00:01:57.445 --> 00:01:57.894
Yeah.

00:01:58.344 --> 00:02:09.355
So you've done, you've designed for nasa, now you've designed for the USDA and who else important have you designed for, probably some acronym that she can't share with us.

00:02:10.795 --> 00:02:12.985
Yeah, that's all hush top secret.

00:02:13.985 --> 00:02:17.884
That's what you're doing in the middle of the night when you say you're out with the pigs and stuff.

00:02:18.615 --> 00:02:18.675
Yeah.

00:02:21.405 --> 00:02:21.644
Wow.

00:02:21.775 --> 00:02:24.235
Congratulations then finally being done.

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:26.665
Yeah, I'm excited for it.

00:02:26.724 --> 00:02:27.224
Are you done?

00:02:28.540 --> 00:02:29.889
You gonna go get another degree?

00:02:30.459 --> 00:02:30.790
Nope.

00:02:31.009 --> 00:02:32.900
I'll be graduating my bachelor's.

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:41.689
It'll be agricultural engineering and then the fancy term is me with a focus in mechanized systems and then a second focus in livestock systems.

00:02:41.810 --> 00:02:46.670
So basically designing equipment for animals and machinery.

00:02:48.709 --> 00:02:48.920
Ooh.

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:52.670
So like me setting up a place to manufacture.

00:02:53.314 --> 00:02:56.430
Feed and that kind of stuff would be right up your alley.

00:02:57.125 --> 00:02:57.454
Yep.

00:02:57.514 --> 00:03:00.305
Like the designing, like the mills and things like that.

00:03:00.425 --> 00:03:01.384
Absolutely.

00:03:01.654 --> 00:03:09.754
If I did that, I would be like organized and stuff that, the efficiency would be crazy at that point.

00:03:10.714 --> 00:03:16.305
Yeah, that's what that's basically what are you, us, I might have to fly you down here for that.

00:03:18.555 --> 00:03:19.425
She would laugh.

00:03:19.795 --> 00:03:25.824
System of, I don't know, your back dock pallets and stuff.

00:03:27.175 --> 00:03:30.540
She'd be like, oh this is so amateur.

00:03:30.569 --> 00:03:35.149
We don't have grain bins and the fields in Oregon and stuff.

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:37.889
We don't, there's, I don't have a grain bin.

00:03:38.185 --> 00:03:39.384
Could not get away with that.

00:03:39.384 --> 00:03:39.925
Up here.

00:03:40.004 --> 00:03:40.995
Yeah, probably not.

00:03:41.925 --> 00:03:44.654
Yeah, you have to be very creative.

00:03:45.654 --> 00:03:46.795
He is in Alabama.

00:03:47.795 --> 00:03:48.334
One day.

00:03:48.454 --> 00:03:50.214
One day,'cause I'm in Tennessee, right?

00:03:50.214 --> 00:03:55.285
And so people will come to Tennessee and like the other people, other states and stuff.

00:03:55.524 --> 00:04:03.175
And one day when I was a teenager, it was somewhere and somebody said something to me and I just looked at'em and I said we do wear shoes.

00:04:03.175 --> 00:04:03.834
Does that count?

00:04:06.204 --> 00:04:07.584
My mom was so embarrassed.

00:04:09.865 --> 00:04:11.334
That would've been hilarious.

00:04:12.404 --> 00:04:18.944
I was known for the quick witty replies when I was a teenager so Ms.

00:04:18.944 --> 00:04:25.564
Brainiac has been designing websites and apps and all kinds of stuff yeah.

00:04:25.675 --> 00:04:26.814
How many do you have now?

00:04:26.814 --> 00:04:28.495
We have pips and chicks.

00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:30.605
The auction.

00:04:31.235 --> 00:04:31.595
Yep.

00:04:32.254 --> 00:04:35.074
The app, the virtual show.

00:04:35.569 --> 00:04:35.860
Show.

00:04:35.865 --> 00:04:37.454
And then poultry Pro.

00:04:37.514 --> 00:04:37.904
Yeah.

00:04:38.384 --> 00:04:39.014
So four.

00:04:39.495 --> 00:04:41.925
Yeah, four of them right now.

00:04:42.165 --> 00:04:45.884
One other one in the works Really you gonna tell us?

00:04:46.035 --> 00:04:49.334
Figured out how to go to college and all that stuff too.

00:04:50.785 --> 00:04:53.245
This is, these are my fun little side projects.

00:04:54.959 --> 00:05:02.399
Basically a genetics calculator where you'll put pictures in of your birds and it'll tell you what the out, what the outcomes are.

00:05:02.449 --> 00:05:07.939
And it'll tell you an idea of what the likely genetic breakdown is.

00:05:08.209 --> 00:05:14.779
And then if you cross birds together, what the birds could look like and what percent you'll get for each one.

00:05:15.889 --> 00:05:17.479
But that's working.

00:05:17.479 --> 00:05:25.639
There's a professor at the University of Montana, an extension of there for her biology class that we're helping with.

00:05:25.819 --> 00:05:29.870
So I want to be like the first trial person.

00:05:31.514 --> 00:05:32.439
I can make that happen.

00:05:34.370 --> 00:05:35.829
She's Ooh, I'm gonna need those.

00:05:36.969 --> 00:05:41.824
So that conversation that we had before the recording started, I'm gonna plug all those things in there.

00:05:41.824 --> 00:05:42.004
Good deal.

00:05:43.004 --> 00:05:50.169
So what you guys don't know is I never have claim to understand quell genetics or anything to the extreme right?

00:05:50.169 --> 00:05:55.089
I can get away with the basics, but I'm forever texting breed pictures like, what is this?

00:05:55.094 --> 00:05:55.675
What is this?

00:05:58.269 --> 00:06:01.599
I had this hatch out, but I don't know what it is.

00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:06.349
Half the time, it's I dunno I don't either whatever.

00:06:07.675 --> 00:06:14.574
So now I have a extra pen, like a, just the ratios are right and they put out eggs.

00:06:14.574 --> 00:06:16.284
And so I put those in the hen's choice.

00:06:17.599 --> 00:06:21.995
Like this really is AZ choice because I got no idea what that's gonna be.

00:06:23.024 --> 00:06:25.610
This is the choice, not the farmer's choice.

00:06:25.849 --> 00:06:26.750
Exactly.

00:06:28.039 --> 00:06:28.129
Luck.

00:06:28.189 --> 00:06:28.620
I just know luck.

00:06:28.620 --> 00:06:30.379
I just know how to sex them and I got'em and they're right.

00:06:32.714 --> 00:06:33.524
It works.

00:06:33.564 --> 00:06:34.735
It could come out huge.

00:06:34.735 --> 00:06:36.805
It could come out red purple.

00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:39.685
It's almost, but it's gonna be great.

00:06:40.194 --> 00:06:47.394
And it's almost guaranteed to have some sparkly in it because they're all, they've all got some semblance of sparkly.

00:06:48.714 --> 00:06:53.125
But when your focus is meat and eggs, like who cares?

00:06:53.185 --> 00:06:53.964
What does color matter?

00:06:54.925 --> 00:06:57.235
It doesn't, you don't eat the feathers.

00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:58.019
No.

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.279
Those are for the pigs.

00:07:01.669 --> 00:07:02.479
Yes.

00:07:02.689 --> 00:07:04.279
And they're leaving soon.

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:05.209
And I'm so excited.

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:06.649
Oh gosh.

00:07:06.745 --> 00:07:09.379
I could not hate, I hate the pigs.

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:09.919
I hate them.

00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:10.279
Agreed.

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:10.969
I agree.

00:07:11.024 --> 00:07:18.884
I'm waiting till until next month, I think when the processor said they should have all the deer out.

00:07:19.784 --> 00:07:23.745
And they'll slip in some other stuff before they start on beef again.

00:07:24.764 --> 00:07:28.454
So yeah, April 7th for me, they're all five.

00:07:28.454 --> 00:07:29.534
Leaving mine.

00:07:29.534 --> 00:07:34.154
Don't know that it just got a date, but that Andre son of a gun.

00:07:34.904 --> 00:07:37.425
Are you getting rid of all of them going on the table?

00:07:37.425 --> 00:07:38.204
All of them.

00:07:38.204 --> 00:07:39.029
You the big, the bigger ones.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.009
Yep.

00:07:41.009 --> 00:07:42.144
I've got all of them are going.

00:07:43.050 --> 00:07:49.159
I've got my three huge ones are going all the babies will stay Yeah.

00:07:49.159 --> 00:07:51.949
For a little while if they grow up and they become big ones and they're still obnoxious.

00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:53.779
Yes.

00:07:53.899 --> 00:07:55.740
But I already have people wanting it.

00:07:57.050 --> 00:07:58.939
Do you know what mine were doing the other day?

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.439
I'm standing in the barn, have a piece of foam in my hand, and I'm putting eggs in the foam.

00:08:03.534 --> 00:08:04.269
And the back.

00:08:04.479 --> 00:08:08.740
So in my barn, I've got the big doors on both ends, right?

00:08:08.769 --> 00:08:10.870
And the back big door.

00:08:10.870 --> 00:08:14.560
It's a 14 foot door and the pigs are back there.

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.529
And then there's cattle gates across it.

00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.490
So I can open the big door and then the cattle gates keep them out still.

00:08:21.539 --> 00:08:25.169
They were pushing on the cattle gates so hard.

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:28.560
They were separating the seams on my big door.

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:36.000
So like I've got my hip and my leg and my shoulder against the door screaming.

00:08:36.169 --> 00:08:37.879
For somebody to come help me.

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:43.519
And he came and got some feed and went and poured the feed like over by the pond bed.

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:44.060
That's all it took.

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:47.389
And Yes, and then closed the gate.

00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:52.399
But then I was like they're just gonna push on that gate until they collapsed the corner post.

00:08:52.450 --> 00:08:54.820
Because they're 500 pounds, they're big pigs.

00:08:55.180 --> 00:08:57.100
And so we had to move the electric fence.

00:08:57.100 --> 00:08:58.419
So all I'm trying to do.

00:08:58.465 --> 00:09:01.615
His box of eggs and it turned into moving pigs.

00:09:01.615 --> 00:09:04.435
And if you've ever moved pigs, that's not easy.

00:09:04.644 --> 00:09:05.335
No.

00:09:05.815 --> 00:09:06.894
They wanted a snack.

00:09:07.375 --> 00:09:10.164
There's just, and you would not drop'em down.

00:09:10.375 --> 00:09:13.794
They wanted to catch, they wanted you to drop some quail eggs.

00:09:14.345 --> 00:09:18.129
I give them quail eggs like almost daily but not yet.

00:09:18.189 --> 00:09:19.149
Not that day.

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:20.919
We, this is terrible.

00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.120
So y'all just closed your ears.

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:24.759
But we caught one the other day eating one of my ducks.

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.559
That sounds about right.

00:09:27.574 --> 00:09:28.595
I was so mad.

00:09:28.924 --> 00:09:31.534
So April 7th, gone.

00:09:31.715 --> 00:09:32.164
Done.

00:09:32.585 --> 00:09:33.725
Done with the pigs.

00:09:34.384 --> 00:09:35.764
You have spots, right?

00:09:35.764 --> 00:09:36.654
The big old spots.

00:09:36.654 --> 00:09:37.044
Yep.

00:09:37.615 --> 00:09:37.909
They're nasty.

00:09:38.694 --> 00:09:45.379
They also look ugly I to break into you, but I just like how they run and they had to make their ears swap so they can see where they're going.

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.980
That is hilarious to watch.

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.569
But actually the big one is okay.

00:09:53.569 --> 00:09:58.120
It's the, but she was raised for a year with the guy down the road.

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:04.110
And he would go out every day and pet her and love on her and sit with her and talk to her and her mom and everything.

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:09.330
But the babies I got is babies and I just, I'm not a big person.

00:10:09.330 --> 00:10:10.289
Never had been.

00:10:10.389 --> 00:10:26.429
Like I avoided those days in college and we were allowed when I was in my senior year, my last semester, I had to take a prac, we called them practicals, where you had to go out on the farm and work for three hours or whatever, and.

00:10:27.449 --> 00:10:29.429
We were allowed three absences.

00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:31.529
All three of mine were the big days.

00:10:31.529 --> 00:10:32.429
I just took them.

00:10:32.429 --> 00:10:33.299
They were scheduled.

00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:34.470
Okay, that's a big day.

00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:35.159
I'm outta here.

00:10:36.539 --> 00:10:41.340
Lucky I just hate them, but they're so dang useful.

00:10:41.549 --> 00:10:42.659
And then they stink.

00:10:44.069 --> 00:10:44.639
That's my worst.

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:44.884
They do.

00:10:45.939 --> 00:10:47.019
They served their purpose.

00:10:47.019 --> 00:10:48.580
We got them to do the pond.

00:10:48.835 --> 00:10:49.764
They've done the pond.

00:10:49.764 --> 00:10:50.634
The pond is great.

00:10:50.634 --> 00:10:51.475
So now they can go.

00:10:52.254 --> 00:10:55.554
I figured out a way to get mine to not stink.

00:10:56.455 --> 00:10:59.605
I did not have to train them to use this corner.

00:10:59.965 --> 00:10:59.995
Oh.

00:10:59.995 --> 00:11:09.294
But like they go to a corner and every time it rains, I have found 25 to be the magic number.

00:11:10.225 --> 00:11:15.955
25 pounds of lime neutralizes that perfectly.

00:11:16.939 --> 00:11:25.220
And I'm, it is good, like you don't smell nothing for a while until we have a really hard rain again.

00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:29.789
Maybe you need to flick it on that lady's land next to you that doesn't like you.

00:11:31.995 --> 00:11:34.514
So I haven't seen her in a while.

00:11:35.205 --> 00:11:52.605
I know she's not a fan of the show, but I really have thought about, doing a really low hot wire putting, using like a telephone pole and putting it on my side, and then doing it on the other side, which I own that land over there too.

00:11:53.294 --> 00:12:00.164
And then stretching string between and then just turning'em loose, letting'em eat all the grass.

00:12:00.194 --> 00:12:02.774
'cause the lady don't maintain the land for Jack.

00:12:03.764 --> 00:12:06.554
Oh, and I could put the toney, coons and the goats over there.

00:12:07.725 --> 00:12:12.345
They would have a feast about midsummer when it was three feet tall.

00:12:13.059 --> 00:12:13.990
Tall sounds like what?

00:12:13.990 --> 00:12:15.615
Sheep and cows are good for.

00:12:16.304 --> 00:12:18.250
Turn a loose and just forget about'em.

00:12:18.284 --> 00:12:21.495
Like I wanted to buy that land for that purpose.

00:12:22.154 --> 00:12:23.085
She won't sell it to me.

00:12:23.504 --> 00:12:24.855
I saw a post this morning.

00:12:24.855 --> 00:12:27.524
Somebody wants to turn Guinea pigs loose in order to keep the vegetations.

00:12:28.664 --> 00:12:32.894
Does, how many Guinea pigs is it gonna take to clean up an ac Grab one.

00:12:34.059 --> 00:12:34.500
I dunno.

00:12:35.504 --> 00:12:41.625
You could have a, you could have a five sheep do it in about a day and a half Guinea pigs a year.

00:12:42.254 --> 00:12:45.705
I was gonna say like some sheep or some goats.

00:12:45.735 --> 00:12:46.365
Yeah.

00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:48.625
And they'd be in and out quick.

00:12:49.495 --> 00:12:50.694
But some Guinea pigs.

00:12:51.924 --> 00:12:52.164
What?

00:12:53.245 --> 00:12:53.335
I know.

00:12:53.424 --> 00:12:58.610
Oh, you gonna prevent the birds from just coming to kill or a dog or and it's a Guinea pig.

00:12:59.855 --> 00:13:01.970
They're gonna put their LGD in there to protect them.

00:13:02.809 --> 00:13:04.699
It was on social media.

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:52.389
Oh gosh.

00:13:53.115 --> 00:13:53.315
Bless them.

00:13:54.549 --> 00:13:55.870
Bless, as we say in the south.

00:13:55.870 --> 00:13:56.379
Bless'em.

00:13:56.889 --> 00:13:57.279
Yeah.

00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:01.779
All right, so let's get back to Brie here.

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:02.985
So people do everything.

00:14:03.789 --> 00:14:07.419
So Pips and chicks is still up and you can get your genetics information there.

00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:12.830
We've got the auction site is back and running and taken.

00:14:12.830 --> 00:14:13.159
Yeah.

00:14:13.595 --> 00:14:15.125
Sellers and buyers.

00:14:15.215 --> 00:14:16.235
Consignors.

00:14:16.835 --> 00:14:18.245
Consign, is that what you call'em?

00:14:18.245 --> 00:14:18.904
Consignors?

00:14:19.445 --> 00:14:20.299
Isn't that the right word?

00:14:20.529 --> 00:14:21.139
Technical.

00:14:22.294 --> 00:14:23.500
So you gotta, Hey, we can be bougie.

00:14:25.029 --> 00:14:28.480
The auction site is now open for all consignors.

00:14:31.299 --> 00:14:32.710
That's the voice that I gotta use.

00:14:32.710 --> 00:14:34.629
I gotta make little advertisements now.

00:14:35.950 --> 00:14:38.860
Yes, to gotta talk really low and close to the microphone.

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:42.669
So did either of y'all ever listen to auctioneers?

00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:43.840
Yep.

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:44.440
Yep.

00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:55.180
So I will listen to that in the background while I'm doing stuff because it will catch my brain's attention and I can focus on whatever I'm doing.

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.500
Huh.

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.029
You just have to let that one do.

00:14:58.029 --> 00:15:00.220
That's because this is what happens when I go to an auction.

00:15:01.090 --> 00:15:01.600
Exactly.

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:02.919
No, I can't go.

00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.450
I'll buy stuff left and right.

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:07.639
I want, I might not even know what I'm buying.

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:11.985
Yeah, I know, but I thought, man, I could.

00:15:12.629 --> 00:15:16.080
Do that, become an auctioneer and.

00:15:16.860 --> 00:15:17.759
That would be cool.

00:15:18.539 --> 00:15:20.220
You've got the southern accent for it.

00:15:22.019 --> 00:15:23.070
You talk really slow.

00:15:23.070 --> 00:15:24.389
It's gonna take a lot of training.

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.274
Do you know what I, the last auction I went to a walker and an oxygen tank like whatcha doing?

00:15:31.595 --> 00:15:35.945
And I was like the walkers for the bags, which are fantastic.

00:15:36.125 --> 00:15:40.754
I'm just saying if you have concrete floors in your barn, you need to.

00:15:40.845 --> 00:15:45.044
You need a walker with a seat on it, because the feed bags are spectacular on there.

00:15:46.514 --> 00:15:49.995
Hers has the grips for the breaks, so it don't get away from her.

00:15:50.894 --> 00:15:51.794
It's hilarious.

00:15:52.815 --> 00:15:55.754
But she got it down to a science, you gotta admit.

00:15:55.754 --> 00:15:56.745
It works great.

00:15:56.955 --> 00:15:57.884
Oh, it's a genius.

00:15:59.634 --> 00:16:02.965
It's even better than using like a wagon.

00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:07.389
Because, so we, it, it's got the little brackets around and you just put the bag in there.

00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.840
Lean it up against it.

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.169
Pull the top off the right height.

00:16:12.649 --> 00:16:12.889
Yeah.

00:16:12.889 --> 00:16:13.820
You don't have to bend over.

00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:15.110
It's fantastic.

00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:17.460
And there's stacks so high on my.

00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:18.690
What are those things called?

00:16:18.690 --> 00:16:19.259
U-boats?

00:16:19.310 --> 00:16:21.440
For the feed bags are stacked so high on the U-boats.

00:16:21.680 --> 00:16:24.830
Then I just wheel it right up to the stack and just slide it down.

00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:26.060
I don't even have to pick up bags.

00:16:26.779 --> 00:16:28.274
Just slide falls.

00:16:29.274 --> 00:16:36.654
Okay, so we've got, so we did the auction site and then the virtual show doesn't start till May, right?

00:16:36.865 --> 00:16:37.735
Correct.

00:16:37.794 --> 00:16:41.575
We'll start running sponsors probably in the next month or so.

00:16:42.044 --> 00:16:44.595
But beyond that, like entries won't open until May.

00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:46.149
Gotcha.

00:16:46.690 --> 00:16:51.490
And so now we're gonna talk about your newest project, which is the app.

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:52.930
Yeah.

00:16:54.129 --> 00:16:56.680
And I think I have 400 birds loaded on the app.

00:16:58.070 --> 00:17:00.325
And I'm not technologically, I.

00:17:00.965 --> 00:17:04.954
I'm challenged in that, look, you've come a long way in the last couple of years.

00:17:05.254 --> 00:17:08.659
I have figured out Google Docs and Squarespace.

00:17:09.454 --> 00:17:09.934
I have.

00:17:10.865 --> 00:17:11.194
Yes.

00:17:11.194 --> 00:17:13.565
Make it do things that people say it can't do.

00:17:13.565 --> 00:17:13.774
That's right.

00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.659
Exactly.

00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.105
And that is somebody that's good.

00:17:17.194 --> 00:17:18.605
Gotten good with technology.

00:17:19.565 --> 00:17:20.615
Because it'll do anything.

00:17:20.615 --> 00:17:21.724
You just have to figure it out.

00:17:22.055 --> 00:17:24.724
But I don't, so well, this is what I need.

00:17:24.724 --> 00:17:28.595
Brie, look, this is what I need on your app.

00:17:29.315 --> 00:17:34.144
I go out there and I do the birds, and I put everything in voice memos.

00:17:34.329 --> 00:17:35.980
'Cause I got my little earbuds in.

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:39.615
I assess the birds with the tag number and dah.

00:17:39.884 --> 00:17:41.085
And it's a voice recording.

00:17:41.444 --> 00:17:46.879
I need you to be able to take the info out of the voice memos and put it right in the app.

00:17:47.659 --> 00:17:48.159
Oh gosh.

00:17:50.389 --> 00:17:57.019
Look, with all the stuff that you've done with it, voice recognition is just a little, just do that.

00:17:57.019 --> 00:17:57.875
It's like some icing.

00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.639
We do have, we, I did just add I think it was Eli.

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:07.950
It was either Eli or Elijah had asked me to put like a journal on there.

00:18:07.950 --> 00:18:11.009
So there's a journal section now, so you could put voice memos into there.

00:18:12.464 --> 00:18:15.764
But as far as getting it into the whole data entry thing, ugh.

00:18:17.654 --> 00:18:20.534
Look, if you can do nasa, this is easy.

00:18:21.194 --> 00:18:21.464
Yeah.

00:18:21.464 --> 00:18:21.974
Come on.

00:18:22.024 --> 00:18:27.075
NASA was structures re you're not getting it here.

00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:27.159
Like.

00:18:28.694 --> 00:18:31.125
When you do nasa, you set the bar.

00:18:31.755 --> 00:18:31.964
Yeah.

00:18:32.745 --> 00:18:34.664
So we just need you to maintain it.

00:18:34.694 --> 00:18:35.144
That's it.

00:18:36.055 --> 00:18:39.954
I'm gonna date myself here because I am old enough technically to be your mother.

00:18:40.585 --> 00:18:41.484
Yes, definitely.

00:18:41.484 --> 00:18:43.059
'cause my youngest child, I have kids older than her too.

00:18:45.690 --> 00:18:46.250
She's like 19.

00:18:47.065 --> 00:18:49.644
When we were kids, NASA was like.

00:18:51.069 --> 00:18:52.660
You got to nasa, where'd you go?

00:18:52.660 --> 00:18:54.190
It's all downhill from there.

00:18:54.190 --> 00:18:54.849
It was done.

00:18:55.150 --> 00:19:00.819
The first computer that I built for NASA had a modem that connected to a phone line.

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:03.069
Oh my gosh.

00:19:03.170 --> 00:19:06.019
I just feel stupid with two NASA people here now.

00:19:06.890 --> 00:19:07.130
Yeah.

00:19:07.130 --> 00:19:09.019
Carrie's a NASA scientist too.

00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.660
I just built computers for him.

00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:14.299
I was 19.

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.970
Hey, I watched him take off.

00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:17.630
Does that count?

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:19.789
Oh, that is so much fun.

00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:20.509
Exactly.

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:22.549
Yeah.

00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:26.299
Okay, so anyway, so that was my plug for your app.

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:28.609
I needed voice recognition where I can just talk to it.

00:19:29.734 --> 00:19:35.045
The next biggest thing that I've been working on over Christmas break,'cause I have free time now.

00:19:35.434 --> 00:19:37.055
Which is the most bizarre thing.

00:19:37.414 --> 00:19:38.255
That is bizarre.

00:19:40.025 --> 00:19:50.265
But I've been working with a developer and we're working to get it so that it'll be a mobile app on the Google and Apple Play store for both the auctions and poultry.

00:19:50.265 --> 00:19:50.545
That's nightmare.

00:19:51.995 --> 00:19:55.630
It's, I didn't realize I, it was gonna be hard.

00:19:56.375 --> 00:19:59.015
I did not realize how hard until I started.

00:19:59.015 --> 00:19:59.134
Yeah.

00:19:59.134 --> 00:20:00.125
And now I'm halfway in.

00:20:00.214 --> 00:20:06.495
So I, you write a program that does something great and you decide you wanna put it on in an app, on the app store.

00:20:06.825 --> 00:20:09.434
And it's oh, let's rewrite it in a totally different language.

00:20:09.765 --> 00:20:10.065
Exactly.

00:20:11.325 --> 00:20:11.595
Yeah.

00:20:11.745 --> 00:20:12.105
Okay.

00:20:12.105 --> 00:20:13.934
I'm gonna date myself again here.

00:20:13.934 --> 00:20:15.555
So what's the difference in that?

00:20:15.795 --> 00:20:19.575
And just the little button on my home screen that takes me to your website.

00:20:20.745 --> 00:20:27.644
The only difference is an app, like about 10 million lines of code.

00:20:27.644 --> 00:20:27.855
Yep.

00:20:28.335 --> 00:20:28.545
Yep.

00:20:28.785 --> 00:20:28.815
Okay.

00:20:28.815 --> 00:20:29.474
So why?

00:20:29.474 --> 00:20:31.394
Why do that instead of just.

00:20:31.934 --> 00:20:33.704
The little icon on my home screen.

00:20:34.335 --> 00:20:36.404
People are sold and they want their apps.

00:20:36.525 --> 00:20:36.765
Yep.

00:20:38.025 --> 00:20:50.025
It's easier for people to search on the app store for poultry and then have it show up than to go onto Google and try and find it, or I don't know the amount of messages.

00:20:50.924 --> 00:20:52.214
See, I've, I blame it on Amazon.

00:20:52.829 --> 00:20:56.009
Because everybody's got used to just the click and it's now.

00:20:56.065 --> 00:20:56.934
And we're spoiled.

00:20:57.214 --> 00:21:00.184
We have spoiled ourselves as a society with technology.

00:21:01.365 --> 00:21:03.795
And I love it and eat it well.

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.210
So is that something you can just knock out over winter break?

00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:10.440
Nah, let's put it this way.

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:20.519
I'm about over the next 10 years, 35,000 lines of code into this thing for one of them, and it's about half done, but it's That's good.

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:21.750
Yeah.

00:21:21.750 --> 00:21:24.450
The hardest part is they need to sync up.

00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:26.670
So I can't just write an app.

00:21:27.345 --> 00:21:30.315
That does this, because that would be too easy.

00:21:30.495 --> 00:21:34.184
It's gotta be an app that connects to the web, to a database.

00:21:34.545 --> 00:21:34.845
Yeah.

00:21:34.845 --> 00:21:39.224
So all the information is on the web and then you can pull it onto the app.

00:21:39.345 --> 00:21:43.035
And if you put information on the app, it's gotta talk back to the web platform.

00:21:43.545 --> 00:21:46.365
Two different languages trying to come together.

00:21:46.365 --> 00:21:51.734
And then also like just getting all of that to transfer right.

00:21:52.245 --> 00:21:54.404
And getting it through Google Play Store.

00:21:55.829 --> 00:22:00.880
Google Play Store and Apple Play Store, both have two different code not code requirements.

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:09.740
They both use React to Native but two different standards and they go through and they've gotta test everything and it's a hullabaloo.

00:22:11.089 --> 00:22:11.509
Wow.

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:13.009
Can you just ask chat, TPT?

00:22:13.009 --> 00:22:13.694
Can it just tell you how to do it?

00:22:15.950 --> 00:22:17.299
Oh, I wish.

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:19.644
Chat GPT is actually really good at writing code.

00:22:20.329 --> 00:22:24.660
It's really bad at realizing its own mistakes.

00:22:26.370 --> 00:22:30.809
I was gonna say, you can write the code, it just probably ain't gonna work worth the crap.

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:32.069
Oh God.

00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:32.519
Yeah.

00:22:32.569 --> 00:22:36.349
I'm working on Zapier now, and I'm gonna tell you that the.

00:22:37.569 --> 00:22:41.769
The AI on Zapier is so polite.

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:48.609
It told me last night, I'm sorry, but this isn't just gonna work, Jennifer, so can we change it over to this?

00:22:48.609 --> 00:22:49.630
Would that be okay?

00:22:49.930 --> 00:22:51.279
And I was like, why?

00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.650
Yes, again, why don't you go ahead and do that for me.

00:22:54.454 --> 00:22:55.865
Did it offer you some fries?

00:22:57.120 --> 00:22:58.884
That sounds like Chick-fil-A right there.

00:23:00.684 --> 00:23:01.224
He was.

00:23:01.224 --> 00:23:02.849
It's I need to give him a name.

00:23:02.849 --> 00:23:05.370
I guess I've named George's, Che, GBT.

00:23:05.370 --> 00:23:09.660
I haven't named Zapier yet but yes, they're very polite.

00:23:09.714 --> 00:23:10.005
Yeah.

00:23:10.404 --> 00:23:13.109
I gotta tell mine to get to the point, because I always sit.

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:24.819
This probably sounds bad, but I sit in class with chat GPT open, so then whenever my professor like says something and my mind goes into like really weird questions that are totally off topic, I'll ask chat GPT.

00:23:25.569 --> 00:23:29.829
And then it always gives me some really long, like pretty answer and I'm like, that's.

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:32.500
Just, you don't need to compliment me, just gimme the answer.

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:34.870
You can tell him to do that.

00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.370
Yeah, I do all the time.

00:23:36.525 --> 00:23:36.815
Okay.

00:23:38.555 --> 00:23:43.569
I'm forever telling mine to condense it down to I think I told that 150 words the other day and he did.

00:23:43.620 --> 00:23:47.700
I don't have time to read three screens, so I just tell to do 150 words.

00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:48.710
Okay.

00:23:48.710 --> 00:23:53.359
So just outta curiosity, how long does it take to write 35,000 lines of code?

00:23:53.470 --> 00:23:54.069
A long time.

00:23:54.759 --> 00:24:04.555
There's a lot of framework in place, so there's a lot of stuff I can copy and paste from the regular one and like the web app version and then just tweak things here and there.

00:24:05.214 --> 00:24:14.484
There's a lot of other apps out there that are open source and open code that I can pull things from as well, so it's not like I have to sit and hard write it.

00:24:14.755 --> 00:24:15.984
My goal is to have.

00:24:16.464 --> 00:24:21.954
Like the basic one for at least the auction site up and running by like middle of February.

00:24:22.285 --> 00:24:27.654
Whether it'll be on the app store by then, probably not, but that's the goal.

00:24:28.315 --> 00:24:28.914
We'll see.

00:24:28.914 --> 00:24:33.835
It sounds easy Once, once school starts back, you won't have very much time.

00:24:34.884 --> 00:24:35.634
Yeah.

00:24:36.815 --> 00:24:38.495
We'll see, I've got less credits.

00:24:38.555 --> 00:24:41.315
I'm only at 18 credits this semester.

00:24:41.315 --> 00:24:43.775
I was at way more than that last semester.

00:24:44.105 --> 00:24:45.875
So eighteen's manageable.

00:24:46.474 --> 00:24:46.954
Yeah.

00:24:47.315 --> 00:24:47.704
Yeah.

00:24:47.805 --> 00:24:51.309
You could do that while you're asleep and then work on your code.

00:24:52.289 --> 00:24:53.370
While you're in class?

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:53.849
Yeah.

00:24:54.509 --> 00:24:58.829
Oh, we won't go on to how much I was working in class on that class stuff.

00:24:59.829 --> 00:25:03.930
Okay so let's actually tell people why they need your app.

00:25:04.289 --> 00:25:05.220
Why is it useful?

00:25:06.089 --> 00:25:06.420
Yeah.

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:09.809
So probably should start with why I created the app.

00:25:10.019 --> 00:25:10.200
Okay.

00:25:10.204 --> 00:25:10.285
There.

00:25:11.130 --> 00:25:18.309
For anyone that does like chicken things in general and likes to keep track of their information or their data that was me.

00:25:18.609 --> 00:25:27.000
I kept track of like egg, like how many eggs birds would lay feed as I got into more on the quail side and then on things like that.

00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:30.000
I kept track of feed cap, track of weights and things like that.

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:35.480
I always had IDs for my birds, names for them and like when I'd get them, when I'd sell them.

00:25:35.900 --> 00:25:46.490
And at one point when I came to Man Valley Farm, I think I had it was somewhere like 10 spreadsheets with all of this information.

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.009
And it was a lot and it was a pain.

00:25:49.370 --> 00:25:53.450
And we were redoing the UW fs poultry barn set up.

00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.809
And I tried introducing my boss to these 10 spreadsheets and he looked me dead in the eyes and he is Brianna.

00:26:00.424 --> 00:26:02.434
You can program, what are you doing here?

00:26:03.484 --> 00:26:04.234
Can we not?

00:26:06.095 --> 00:26:11.075
And yeah, so I made it into an app and it basically.

00:26:11.765 --> 00:26:13.835
I took everything that UWRF wanted.

00:26:13.894 --> 00:26:18.065
I took everything that I thought was important and things that I used in my research trials.

00:26:18.065 --> 00:26:22.355
Things like a things like eggs that I'm getting out, feed consumption.

00:26:22.355 --> 00:26:24.914
It'll tell you your, like your water ratios.

00:26:24.914 --> 00:26:29.204
It'll flag it if things are if all of a sudden your birds go from laying.

00:26:30.009 --> 00:26:34.930
30 eggs a day to 20 eggs a day, you get a health check on there.

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.819
You can do health checks, which is a big thing that I think a lot of poultry breeders don't do.

00:26:39.890 --> 00:26:44.460
Things like condition scores which is huge in animals like cattle and pigs.

00:26:44.460 --> 00:26:50.490
But I never hear about condition scores and poultry until I started working with the humane handling.

00:26:51.029 --> 00:26:55.440
Institute that we have at River Falls and just little things like that.

00:26:55.500 --> 00:26:58.799
And I had, obviously I'd seen other software before.

00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:03.900
We've used other software for different animals and all of it seems really clunky, right?

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:08.984
I used the flock star for a little bit and it just.

00:27:09.569 --> 00:27:16.529
It was hard one because it didn't have all the information I wanted to have, and two, because it wasn't very user friendly.

00:27:16.710 --> 00:27:21.599
So I made the app to be as simple and as easy as possible.

00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:28.349
We've got 15 different file markers that all can use it pretty much like without any training.

00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:29.319
You just log in.

00:27:29.724 --> 00:27:36.714
If there's big buttons at the top that say you log your eggs, log your feed, you put your flocks and your birds in, and you get your reports out.

00:27:37.285 --> 00:27:39.025
And then since then it's grown.

00:27:40.444 --> 00:27:44.855
I built the poultry index so breeders can upload their stats on there.

00:27:45.285 --> 00:27:47.174
And you can choose whether to opt in or opt out.

00:27:47.174 --> 00:27:53.265
And if you opt out, obviously it's your data, so we never have control over it.

00:27:53.265 --> 00:27:57.495
Like at any point you can say, I want out of the program, and all of your data's removed from it.

00:27:58.015 --> 00:28:00.384
But you can benchmark it against the average.

00:28:00.444 --> 00:28:03.115
So the goal is eventually we'll have enough readers in it.

00:28:03.710 --> 00:28:08.299
And you can display your name, or you don't have to, but it says this is what the average is.

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:13.099
So for Terex, I think we had about a thousand some birds in there.

00:28:13.099 --> 00:28:14.240
We had a growth pattern.

00:28:14.789 --> 00:28:18.180
And you can see where your birds were sitting on relative to that growth pattern.

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:29.579
In your age, you could see like your egg production, whether it was higher or lower, your fertility, your hatch ability and all of like your metrics, you can compare against the average from.

00:28:30.269 --> 00:28:36.740
Actual breeders, not just big name hatcheries that that are keeping everything under very tight conditions.

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:43.370
You could see it what it's like from people that have anywhere from five birds to, to 5,000 and in between.

00:28:43.970 --> 00:28:47.140
So that's been where it's gone and where it's still going.

00:28:47.140 --> 00:28:52.900
We're still getting more breeders into the index and more breeders using Poultry Pro just about on the daily.

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:57.490
Can you put in like a family tree type thing for the birds?

00:28:57.490 --> 00:28:59.079
Yeah, absolutely.

00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:15.970
So when you go in and you add your birds, you can add birds like one at a time, or if you've got like a hundred birds or you just hatch out a batch of them, you can batch entry a whole bunch of them and you can choose the dam and the sire if you have them on your farm, and it'll actually populate the whole spreadsheet for you.

00:29:15.970 --> 00:29:17.829
It'll tell you, it'll show you a pedigree.

00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:19.509
You can put in genetic traits.

00:29:19.509 --> 00:29:21.549
Genetic traits will show up on that pedigree.

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:23.620
It'll tell you inbreeding coefficients.

00:29:23.620 --> 00:29:38.630
If you're someone who does a lot of line breeding or sibling matches, or father's son or spiral breeding you can figure out how inbred your birds are, and then you can see whether that's impacting your fertility or your different gene traits when you go down and you can plug genes into there too.

00:29:39.904 --> 00:29:50.825
So I can see where like somebody like me that's getting pretty tight, like on the Orpingtons, but if somebody was just getting started with Burge, why would all of this stuff be important?

00:29:51.454 --> 00:30:06.434
Personally, I think that doing this in the beginning would be, it may not be important to the person at that time, but if they ever plan on breeding, it will save them hours and hours.

00:30:07.694 --> 00:30:20.775
Sorting through notepads from the barn, notes on their phone, text messages that they sent somebody, like sorting through all that junk.

00:30:21.269 --> 00:30:30.539
They would already have it in here because like you can do family and then individual bird, or no, they, it is called a flock.

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:33.809
You can establish a flock, add birds to it.

00:30:34.275 --> 00:30:37.934
Put in all their ID number, all that crap, even their name.

00:30:39.075 --> 00:30:41.684
And then it, it keeps up with everything for you.

00:30:43.005 --> 00:30:53.390
Yeah, I would say it's almost idiot proof, but being an educator myself, I know that's a stretch.

00:30:55.664 --> 00:30:57.644
I sent it to some of my cousins.

00:30:57.644 --> 00:31:08.515
One of my cousins, he is he was like 13 I think when I sent it to him, and he was able to figure it out and keeps track of his birds on it religiously.

00:31:08.545 --> 00:31:11.335
So he grew up on computers.

00:31:11.341 --> 00:31:12.920
He need to send it to people like me.

00:31:15.055 --> 00:31:17.845
I'll say the very first person I sent it to was you guys.

00:31:17.845 --> 00:31:21.805
So I am in it right now.

00:31:23.984 --> 00:31:30.674
And if my boss can use it, who hates computers with an absolute passion I think just about everyone can use it.

00:31:32.115 --> 00:31:32.414
Yeah.

00:31:32.974 --> 00:31:42.484
I do have 400 birds in it, I will say, but I was still in the transferring the information from voice memos to it.

00:31:42.904 --> 00:31:49.835
That was gonna be my winter project, and then I could move forward for spring breeding is what I was gonna use it for.

00:31:50.785 --> 00:31:52.615
Yeah, I don't count eggs.

00:31:52.855 --> 00:32:00.204
I don't care how many I get because there's counting eggs and then there's counting like usable eggs.

00:32:00.295 --> 00:32:02.545
So yeah, I don't know.

00:32:02.995 --> 00:32:04.015
It didn't matter to me.

00:32:04.194 --> 00:32:07.164
Will it figure out like if you're making money or not?

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.029
Yep.

00:32:08.150 --> 00:32:10.490
There's a whole finances section on there.

00:32:10.789 --> 00:32:17.200
It'll not only won it tell you, your price per egg, price per bird price to raise out your bird.

00:32:17.450 --> 00:32:20.630
It'll tell you where you're spending the most money in there.

00:32:20.950 --> 00:32:23.769
And then it'll also tell you where you're bringing in the most money.

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:27.039
So any, there's super easy buttons on there.

00:32:27.370 --> 00:32:29.974
Anytime you buy something, you can.

00:32:30.745 --> 00:32:33.755
Upload it on there and fill out your expenses.

00:32:33.815 --> 00:32:52.045
And same thing when you sell something you can put in your customer if you want, or you can just say, this is what I sold and this is how much question, how much does it go into helping you say with filing a, like getting all the data together for a Schedule F.

00:32:53.904 --> 00:32:55.015
A schedule F.

00:32:55.795 --> 00:32:56.035
Okay.

00:32:56.035 --> 00:32:57.505
So if you have a farm.

00:32:58.615 --> 00:33:02.724
You track all your finances and you fill out a Schedule F oh.

00:33:03.595 --> 00:33:11.394
For the IRS, there's a option on there that to export everything, so you can go back and you can export it.

00:33:11.454 --> 00:33:21.684
I think I'm still working on a spreadsheet, but it will give you a PDF of it and it'll give you your summary and you can choose nice, whether you want week, month, year on there.

00:33:21.684 --> 00:33:25.914
And then you can also choose like for a specific flock for your whole farm.

00:33:25.974 --> 00:33:30.535
You can export all of that and it'll give you the nice, you can print it, you can save it.

00:33:31.704 --> 00:33:56.039
See, I like the fact that, you can have chickens for free eggs or cheap eggs because they're like$14 a dozen and you tell that story to your spouse and I'm not going to condone being dishonest, but you tell that story to your spouse.

00:33:57.410 --> 00:33:59.269
And they don't see the feed bill.

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:03.170
So yeah.

00:34:03.170 --> 00:34:14.400
But you can actually log in and look at the finances section and decide whether you're gonna really enjoy that egg sandwich or you're gonna sell that egg.

00:34:16.470 --> 00:34:22.035
And the biggest one for me was plugged in the numbers and it told me the price per egg.

00:34:22.394 --> 00:34:29.325
And there was a point where I was over a dollar an egg for just what I was bringing in a month.

00:34:29.325 --> 00:34:34.605
And it's okay, how many places can I go where I can sell eating eggs for over a dollar an egg?

00:34:34.755 --> 00:34:36.765
And the answer's not many Publix.

00:34:37.680 --> 00:34:41.490
Yeah, we don't have those near us.

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:42.780
Really.

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:45.840
We have quick trips.

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.519
Quick.

00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:48.974
I like the qt.

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:54.420
If you ever get Publix, you need to go to Publix because you can just go in there and everybody's nice to you.

00:34:55.349 --> 00:34:56.219
That's the quick trip.

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:56.734
That is true.

00:34:57.674 --> 00:34:58.054
Oh, is it?

00:34:59.474 --> 00:35:01.275
Yeah, it's like going to Chick-fil-A.

00:35:01.275 --> 00:35:02.474
Just everybody's nice to you.

00:35:03.914 --> 00:35:05.204
You don't have those either, do you?

00:35:05.204 --> 00:35:05.534
North?

00:35:05.684 --> 00:35:07.724
That's just how people are up north.

00:35:08.505 --> 00:35:09.554
Oh, baloney.

00:35:10.389 --> 00:35:11.630
I don't, maybe not Chicago.

00:35:11.690 --> 00:35:12.650
We don't go the cities.

00:35:12.789 --> 00:35:22.804
But I gotta say she, there's a lot of truth to what she says because, I go to Pennsylvania a couple times a year and I'm up there.

00:35:23.734 --> 00:35:33.274
Go to town, eat out, drive down the interstate, and it's like people let you get over instead of you, you just punching it and go.

00:35:34.294 --> 00:35:49.204
And then, coming back through here, it seems like on the interstate when I crossed Kentucky and hit Tennessee right around where Rebecca lives, because she's on the very north.

00:35:50.254 --> 00:35:54.254
Eastern Park and that's the interstate that I come down to get home.

00:35:54.854 --> 00:35:59.534
But it's like coming outta Kentucky and I hit Tennessee.

00:36:00.974 --> 00:36:12.494
It's back to get outta my way to get over instead of, oh, I see you coming up behind me and I'm going the speed limit in the fast lane, so I'm just gonna be nice and get over.

00:36:13.274 --> 00:36:15.974
Yeah, once you hit that point, they don't do that anymore.

00:36:16.994 --> 00:36:19.904
You gotta get in the slow lane to go around somebody in the fast lane.

00:36:20.654 --> 00:36:22.754
Listen, it used to be like that here.

00:36:22.754 --> 00:36:25.004
And then people from everywhere moved here.

00:36:26.954 --> 00:36:28.784
We won't get, it's too cold up here forever.

00:36:28.784 --> 00:36:29.684
Everyone to move here.

00:36:30.074 --> 00:36:31.484
Yeah, exactly.

00:36:32.294 --> 00:36:34.394
And technically she's in the Midwest.

00:36:35.114 --> 00:36:35.204
Yeah.

00:36:35.204 --> 00:36:38.444
Last time I went up the East coast, somebody tried to steal my dog.

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:40.679
Oh gosh.

00:36:41.084 --> 00:36:41.264
Oh yeah.

00:36:41.264 --> 00:36:42.284
You get shot for that.

00:36:45.274 --> 00:36:45.564
Okay.

00:36:46.294 --> 00:36:49.414
All right, so tell us about how much this app costs.

00:36:49.774 --> 00:36:50.464
Is it expensive?

00:36:50.514 --> 00:36:53.379
It's free, so you throw with that, got it.

00:36:54.934 --> 00:36:56.099
Check it out for free.

00:36:58.444 --> 00:37:04.714
The ba, the baseline is free, so you can have, I think it's at 15 birds and one flock for free.

00:37:05.694 --> 00:37:07.284
Oh, shoot, my computer's gonna die.

00:37:07.704 --> 00:37:10.764
So you get, you can get like the basic features and stuff for free.

00:37:10.854 --> 00:37:17.694
And then if you wanna go into like the specifics, like you want really big reports or you wanna upload like pictures for your birds or things like that.

00:37:18.024 --> 00:37:20.784
The basic plan starts at$5 a month.

00:37:21.324 --> 00:37:24.444
And then the premium comes down to, or is with everything.

00:37:24.444 --> 00:37:29.754
So you get reports, you get health reports, you get the pedigrees and everything like that.

00:37:29.974 --> 00:37:31.504
That's$10 a month.

00:37:31.564 --> 00:37:33.904
And then there's discounts if you buy yearly as well.

00:37:34.534 --> 00:37:36.934
And see with the premium, it's, we tried to keep affordable.

00:37:38.284 --> 00:37:40.625
You're limited to 1 million flocks.

00:37:41.969 --> 00:37:45.629
If you look at the site, if anyone's going over that, they can send me a message.

00:37:46.979 --> 00:37:49.529
I was like, how many zeros is that?

00:37:50.529 --> 00:37:52.750
I put no limit because it crashed the system.

00:37:52.809 --> 00:37:57.699
So I just put as many zeros and look.

00:37:57.699 --> 00:38:05.349
If somebody has more than 999,999,999 birds.

00:38:07.104 --> 00:38:08.964
They can let me know and I'll up that list.

00:38:11.754 --> 00:38:12.894
Just change the line of code.

00:38:14.364 --> 00:38:23.125
Alright we'll wrap this up by saying that Brie is part of Quail Mania also and she is bringing out her.

00:38:24.084 --> 00:38:26.844
I was gonna say inner nerd, but you just ooze nerd.

00:38:26.974 --> 00:38:40.014
And I mean that with love, but when I saw the title, I was like, oh man that's nerdy using statistics in breeding, that's what it said.

00:38:40.014 --> 00:38:41.875
Using statistic to breed.

00:38:43.464 --> 00:38:44.064
Something like that.

00:38:44.250 --> 00:38:44.539
Yeah.

00:38:47.229 --> 00:38:49.569
Yeah, I took statistics in college.

00:38:49.569 --> 00:38:54.489
I promise it's not, I promise it's not that in depth.

00:38:55.299 --> 00:38:55.750
Okay.

00:38:55.750 --> 00:38:58.689
Alright, so if you guys are all nerdy, we do get nerd.

00:38:58.689 --> 00:39:07.329
You want more Brie nerdiness, then come to Quail Mania and she'll explain statistics to us and how to use those for birch.

00:39:08.884 --> 00:39:17.544
And the all access pass, you're giving a discount on the app for that, right?

00:39:18.609 --> 00:39:18.829
Yep.

00:39:19.059 --> 00:39:19.549
Percent.

00:39:19.549 --> 00:39:20.989
How long is the discount Good for?

00:39:22.164 --> 00:39:22.434
Yep.

00:39:22.974 --> 00:39:24.534
Anywhere from a month to a year.

00:39:25.734 --> 00:39:28.849
So if I subscribe, I get 15% off of my annual plan.

00:39:28.969 --> 00:39:30.169
I think it was several months.

00:39:30.169 --> 00:39:30.229
Yeah.

00:39:31.229 --> 00:39:31.449
Yep.
