Racing pigeon loft sheet in Excel (free): stock, squabs, sales and expenses

One register for every bird, with parents, seller, buyer, losses and expenses, and a monthly summary.

3 min read

You keep racing pigeons and want to know how many birds you have now, how many squabs hatched this month, what died, what you sold and for how much, and what you spent on feed and vaccines. The free pigeon loft sheet puts it in one register. The template and its page are in Arabic.

The problem it solves

Over time the facts scatter: a bird's ring and parents on one sheet, the purchase price in a message, sales in a notebook, expenses somewhere else. When a buyer asks about a squab's bloodline, or you want to know whether the loft makes money, the answer is slow to find.

How the sheet works

  • In Birds, one row per bird: ring number, sex, colour, type (base stock or squab), hatch date and source (hatched here, bought or gift).
  • For a bought bird write the seller, purchase date and price; for a squab write the sire and dam rings.
  • When you sell, set the status to sold and write the date, buyer and sale price. For a loss, set dead with the date.
  • In Expenses log feed, medicine and vaccines, supplies and labour.
  • The Summary shows what you have, sold and lost, the chosen month's movement and net, and expenses by type.

Example from the sample data

Sample numbers, not a real loft; the month is October 2026:

  • Stock now: 4 base birds and 4 squabs, 2 sold and 1 squab dead, a loss rate of 9.1% of 11 recorded birds.
  • The month: 4 squabs hatched, 1 female bought for 1,800, 2 birds sold for 3,600 (one a squab at 600), 1 squab died.
  • Expenses: 6,750 for the month, 3,700 of it feed, so the month's net is −4,950 (sales 3,600 − purchases 1,800 − expenses 6,750).
  • Overall: bird purchases 9,000, sales 3,600, expenses 8,450, and a profit on bird sales of 1,600.

One squab in the sample has an unregistered sire ring, so a red alert shows beside it.

Using the online version

The sheet page opens on this example. Type in the white cells and the figures update at once; import your own xlsx, export your work or download the Excel file. Your data stays in your browser. More templates are in the templates list.

When it is not enough

It holds 500 birds, does not track eggs and pairs one by one, and one person edits at a time. For a broiler farm see the poultry cycle sheet. If you need an app for your loft with per-manager logins, bloodlines, pairs and races, Softwiro can build one your way.

Questions this raises

How do I record a sale?

Set the status to sold and write the date, buyer and sale price; the sheet works out the profit and adds it to the month sales.

How do I record a loss?

Set the status to dead with the date. The bird leaves the stock and enters the dead count and rate.

How do I follow a squab bloodline?

Write its sire and dam rings in its row; the sheet warns if one is not registered.
