Chicken Tracking with QB
Here's my latest cause for Quick Base celebration: A while back I made a Quick Base app for tracking my flock of chickens and supply inventory, but just incorporated RFID scanning to help move towa...

Steve, that is one of the coolest use cases of Quick Base ever! I wonder if some sort of geofencing could be incorporated around the barn that would more easily scan the RFID tags when the chickens enter and exit the barn or if that would be too cost-prohibitive, depending on the number of beacons you would need?
Thanks for sharing the details and please keep us posted on how you refine and improve your tracking system. So interesting!
P.S. I love your chicken names.

- Hey thanks Ronda... it's been fun to use Quick Base for something a little different.
Using geofencing would be really cool. The tags and scanners need to be really close to each other to read, so it could be more a matter of funneling them through various enter/exit points. Using tags that use bluetooth or wifi and geofencingto determine their location would be really fun to do - maybe end up with a map with little dots moving around in real time. They are a bit more expensive though, and I know that Ginger might not be happy with a bulkier tag. She can be a bit dramatic sometimes, but maybe it'd be worth it to get a couple and figure out a good way to see if it could work.
