How to enter daily mortality, feed, and egg figures on a phone, with or without a signal.

Farm worker: first day
Your job is the data that everything else depends on: what happened to the birds today. It is built for a phone in the house, with gloves on, with or without signal.
If your home screen shows Setup in progress, your owner or manager is still setting up the sites and lots. Once the first lot is placed, your daily capture appears here - check back shortly.
If a Lot is ready but no real figure has been recorded yet, /onboarding shows
one Record your first figures mission. It links to the Lots you can open and
disappears after the first qualifying capture is observed.
The daily routine
- Open the right flock or egg set. From
/lots/list, open the Lot you are working with. PoultryDesk uses Lot as the common label for a flock or hatchery egg set. - Record mortality. Enter the count on the mortality screen. Bulk entry lets you move down a list quickly.
- Record feed. Enter feed delivered or consumed for the day. The displayed Feed round can be saved or queued without a signal. If you change its date, wait for PoultryDesk to reload that day's Lots, birds, Feed item, and stock status before entering figures. If a prior contribution is wrong, choose Correct, select that contribution, and enter the replacement plus a reason. If the flock intentionally received no feed, use Not fed instead of leaving the day unexplained.
- Record eggs (layers). For layer flocks, enter each egg collection.
- Submit. Tap submit. A queued badge appears and the entry is saved on the device immediately.
Watch out
Daily entry works with no signal. The entry is stored on the phone and syncs automatically when you are back online - you can keep working and even close the app. You do not record sales or expenses; that is the finance side and is handled by managers by default.
