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.
