Current monetization state

HatchMath currently has no affiliate links and no display ads. The site is being run as a calculator-led reference project first, so monetization stays off until it can be added without changing the recommendations or cluttering safety-critical pages.

Possible affiliate relationships

If equipment buying guides or product references are added later, the following affiliate relationships may appear as clearly marked, contextual references inside sourced editorial:

• Chewy via the Impact affiliate network. Pays ~4% commission on qualifying purchases. Used for backyard-flock equipment (coop hardware, ventilation fittings, feeders, waterers, heat lamps, brooder supplies, test kits). Not used for live birds or hatching eggs.
• Amazon Associates. Pays 1–3% on pet / livestock / homestead category purchases. Used as a fallback when Chewy or Tractor Supply equivalents don't carry an item.
• Tractor Supply / Premier 1 Suppliesdirect programs (when available). Specialty backyard-poultry retailers with depth on coop hardware and brooder gear that Chewy and Amazon don't carry consistently.

Affiliate links, when they appear, will be marked as such in context. They never appear as the primary framing of a page, never as “best of” listicles, and never on safety-critical surfaces (brooder heat, ventilation, biosecurity) where the editorial trust bar is highest.

Display advertising

Display ads (Google AdSense or equivalent) are not currently active. If they are added later, they will be:

• Placed at end-of-article, not inline-disrupting body copy.
• Not interstitial. Not popunder. Not autoplay video.
• Not used to sell sponsored content; ads are programmatic and independent of editorial.

Editorial independence

Affiliate or advertising relationships do not influence which products are mentioned, which sources are cited, or which recommendations are made. Sourced editorial decisions come first; monetization placements come after, only where they fit contextually.
