Entries are grouped by life stage and age, with support for selecting individual birds, entire stage groups, or all birds…

Operators can remove specific older birds or thin a cluster without emptying whole cages, which should reduce accidental loss and improve flock rotation. That precision also adds interface and state complexity, particularly around keeping…
The second theme is integration risk. The change is labeled broad, spanning cage building behavior, feed handling, hen intake, and network logic.
