How chicks are bought
Poultry farms plan their cycles around hatch dates, so a hatchery that does not publish a calendar forces every customer to call and ask. Buyers need breed, hatch date, available volume, vaccination status and transport arrangements, and they commit in advance because supply on any given day is finite. Without pre-orders, a hatchery either overproduces or disappoints, and both are expensive.
What we build for a hatchery
First, a hatch calendar by breed with available volumes, which is the product and the schedule at once. Second, pre-orders with deposits, so production is planned against commitments rather than guesses. Third, vaccination and health status per batch, which is what a serious poultry farm screens on. Fourth, transport arrangements explained, since day-old chicks travel under conditions that decide whether they survive the trip and a lost batch ends the relationship.
