chicks hatched

Chicks Hatched is used once the eggs have hatched, to record the number of baby chicks hatched from eggs that were set. Dates will guide this flow. Based on the registry set-up, the chicks hatched transaction can be manually created or system created. The registry switches are located in the Hatcheries tab in: Admin>System>Registry>Poultry Registry. Under Hatcheries>Him, select 'Hatch' and change the Hatch Transfer Mode for the required hatchery to 'Manual'. Then select 'Setter Transfer' and change the Setter Transfer Mode for the required hatchery, to 'Manual'.

Before creating a Chicks Hatched transaction, the following must be created:

• Egg Set
• Machine Transfer

The following procedures are outlined in the Chicks Hatched document:

• Creating a Chicks Hatched Transaction
• Details
• Chicks Hatched Graph
• Posting a Chicks Hatched Transaction

Create a Chicks Hatched Transaction

Line Details

1. In BMTS>HIM>Transactions>Chicks, select Chicks Hatched.
2. In the Chicks Hatched main index, click to add a new hatched transaction.
3. In the New Record dialog box, from Hatchery No, select the required hatchery.
4. In the Trans Date field, enter the date that the eggs hatched and then click 'OK'.
5. If the registry switches are set to Manual, the lines will need to be added manually. In the Chicks Hatched  screen, click to add a new hatch line. This automatically defaults to a Machine Inventory transaction. Available options in the drop-down menu are:
   1. 1. Select from Machine Inventory - the transaction is created by selecting from the setter machine inventory.
      2. Non-Inventory Hatch - the entity is created first, then a Chicks Hatched transaction is created manually, allowing the user to key the data.
      3. Manual with Chick Inventory - the transaction is validated against inventory.
      4. Select from Machine Inventory (by Set Date) - the transaction is created by selecting from the setter machine inventory based on hatch data or trans date.
         
         
6. The Egg Room Inventory box will display all current inventory for the selected hatchery.

7. In the Egg Hatcher Inventory dialog box, select the required hatcher product, and in the Adj Eggs Set, enter the number of eggs still in the machines after adjustments (Example: rejects, destroyed,  etc.) Click 'OK'.

33. Eggs Set displays the number of eggs that were set for hatch.
34. Hatchable Eggs Set displays the number of eggs set that are hatchable.

39. WOL displays the number of weeks in lay that the entity produced eggs.

40. Base Hatch indicates the estimated hatch at the time the eggs were received. If the entity had a standard table associated with the entity, the base hatch will be established from the standard table based on the age of the entity at receipt.

41. Projected Hatch adjusts the based hatch percent on the egg age if an egg age decline table is used as well as recent hatch transactions.

Chicks Hatched Graph

The graph section displays the percentages for chick hatchability, saleability, and culls, according to numbers entered in the Details section.
