I find that the entry of data sometimes does not take at first, I believe you need to hit return after typing something into a field before hitting confirm… Either that or you have to do everything twice.
I wish the “edit list” function wasn’t simply a delete and redo option. ie…
If I make a mistake ( eg. attribute an egg to the wrong hen ) and later want to correct my entry - it appears my only recourse is to scrub the list and start over…
Aside from that, I’m happy. I chose this app because you could track individual hens and keep stats on them, which doesn’t seem to exist in some of the other apps.
I had a chicken die and I can’t figure out if deleting her will also remove the eggs she produced from the overall count. I love that this app helps calculate egg costs, though I’d love to see if you could see more than just overall cost/time, but look at shorter windows, like cost/month or the like.
There are no instructions on how to use this app
I think this would work better for chickens that’s are a small flock. I have 35 layers and I would like to track each pen separately not all together. I don’t understand how to track the feed compared to how much I actually go through does not make sense.
This app gave me eggsactly what I was looking for. A way to track eggs per hen, include pictures, figure out just how much each egg costs, back up the data and transfer the data between devices.
There were a few bugs, but the developer was very quick to respond with workarounds and looking into the issues that I brought up. Great tech support as well as a functional app - nice!
I think the only thing that would make this better would be to be able to save the data to some kind of cloud storage, so that all devices would get the latest data and you wouldn’t have to transfer the data manually between devices.
I paid for the app. It's glitchy, and frequently changes the numbers I put in as soon as I save them. This weekend, I tried to put in egg counts for the last three days. If you don't enter them in order, it doesn't reorder for you. So now my entries have jumbled dates. Only one of my two chickens is laying, but for some reason when I enter an egg on her, the flock tally doubles as if they both laid. I have them set up as two different birds in the same flock, so I'm not sure why it's doubling. There's also no help button or manual to talk you through it, not that it's difficult but it could be more user friendly.
The colors are nice and the setup is easy and quick. It has potential to be great.
Developer Response
Hello and thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
If you close and reopen the Edit Chicken screen the dates should be reordered correctly. If this is not the case please do let me know.
Regarding the doubling tally would you mind contacting me at email@omnichrome.co.uk so we can try and figure out what the problem is as I am having trouble recreating your issue.
Regards
JohnThis is perfect for my flock of 7 Chicklets!! I really like the various graphs/statistics. Plus the diary entries is great for keeping track of possible health issues. And I especially love that each chicken has their own entry & the tracking of individuals laying eggs!! 🐔❤️😀
This was eggsactly the app I was looking for to track my small backyard flock of 8 hens! I eggspecially love that I can tally the eggs per individual chicken! There is a learning curve, tho, so if you're confused about how to change the date, it IS possible and it is EASY, it just might not be as easy as you'd eggspect it to be. So, don't get eggsasperated, just ask! There is an email in the utility section of the app.
I don’t like that you cannot choose a different date than the current date. Being a beginning chicken owner that’s all I am doing is tallying who is laying first so I didn’t download this app till two days after the first lay.
We have a small backyard flock (4 chickens) and this has been a great resource for keeping track of who is laying when and the health and well being of our girls.
