Animal Gestation API

Animal gestation and egg-incubation date maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the breeding and hatch calendar a farmer, breeder or vet works to. The gestation endpoint takes a species and a breeding date and returns the expected due date with the normal early-to-late window: due date = breeding date + the species' average gestation, so a cow bred on the 1st of January (283 days) calves around the 11th of October, a dog (63 days) whelps nine weeks later, a goat 150 days, a horse 340, a pig 114 — dozens of species from rabbit to camel to elephant, with an override for your own herd average. Give a target birth date instead and it works backwards to the date to breed. The incubation endpoint does the same for poultry and birds — chicken 21 days, duck 28, goose 30, quail 18, ostrich 42 and more — returning the hatch date, the lockdown date (stop turning and raise humidity ~3 days before hatch) and the day-7 and day-14 candling dates. Date arithmetic is exact, including leap years. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for livestock, breeding, veterinary, farm-management and hatchery app developers, gestation-calculator and breeding-calendar tools, and agricultural education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Dates as YYYY-MM-DD. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. Averages, not a veterinary prediction.
