FAQ

When should I ring chicks?

Usually day 8–12 when the leg is developed enough but the ring still slides on easily.

When to wean canaries?

Around 4–5 weeks when they feed independently and feathering is nearly complete.

Is the tool free?

Yes — two free simulations. Full pedigree, Monte Carlo and genetic planning require a GenHub signup.
