6.11.0

• Notifications settings - A new Settings > Notifications page shows whether Flockstar can send notifications on your device, with switches for task reminders and the daily egg reminder.
• No-egg days - Tap "No eggs collected" on any egg form so your calendar finally shows the difference between a day with no eggs and a day you forgot to log.

• Breeding Groups - Track hatching stats down to the birds, not just the flock. Build reusable groups for the pairings that matter: an exact dam x sire match, a rooster over a pen, or a known hen. Full lineage automatically flows through to every hatchling.
• Refreshed Hatching dashboard - The Hatching screen now leads with what needs you: runs with an overdue or due-soon candling, lockdown, or hatch, which you can complete right from the card. Below that, your recent fertility and hatch rate with trend lines, plus a leaderboard of your top sources and best birds.
• Hatching Stats - A new, dedicated Stats screen. Break performance down by egg source, flock, dam, sire, run type, or incubator, with a mini trend on every row, and tap any group to see it run by run.
• Exclude experimental hatching runs so they don't skew your numbers.

Bug Fixes
• Count fields no longer open the keyboard when you tap plus or minus, and tapping a 0 clears it so you can type right over it.
