  • Not for me

    I was hoping to get on this site to get help from others who are experienced in chicken keeping and getting ideas. Instead I came a cross LGBTQ group and if you voice opposition you get reported. Meanwhile these same people harass others who have a difference in opinion. They mock others, and even name call. If you ask questions it better be in the correct forum or you will be scolded for that. The most active people I’ve noticed on are echo chambers of what they say is correct and not open to discussion or another option. Not all. Just a few who live on this site. It’s a shame an app on backyard chicken keeping have people who insist on letting you know their bedroom preferences and only talk to people in that group because, I guess heterosexual people just don’t get it about chicken keeping.

  • Wish It’d Work

    This app entails exactly the kinda info I’m looking for as a new chicken owner. Hands down this is the one I want but something is wrong with it! I can’t even create an account because it just buffers or the cursor is outta whack…I’ve tried to download it 3x now and same thing each time. Please work out the bugs so I can use it! Thanks!!

  • Closes keyboard and won’t let you type.

    I tried downloading the app, because it has the kind of people I need to talk to about my flock. When I went to create an account it glitched, kicked me out and opened a legal page..? I am unsure if the app is outdated or if it’s been hacked. Both would explain what happened, but if it gets fixed I’d like to join, I have tons of questions.

  • App gone wrong

    Great concept but there are too many glitches, can’t type out in search bar and it kept popping up videos when I tried scrolling so I uninstalled it
  • Glitchy but great.

    This app is wonderful it’s so favorable!! I love it, it’s brilliant, it helps me with my chickens so much, if I have a problem, BACKYARD CHICKENS if I have a question, BACKYARD CHICKENS!!!!! Get the app now! It’s exquisite!!!
  • I really hoped the app would work.

    I successfully downloaded the app today, and looked forward to perusing it. My experience lasted only ten minutes because I couldn’t scroll through without seeing a video add every few seconds. I could not even read one article! Unfortunately, I had to get rid of it.
  • App

    When I try to post it won’t let me most of the time. It goes back and forth to different screens. The app needs work
  • Loving the app!!

    I love the app until recently. There are some glitches that need to be worked out. Was trying to post the other day, when the screen takes me out of typing mode!! It’s done this to me and I’ve not complained because I thought it was my connection! Fighting the situation I had a post that was exciting to me but the glitch kept happening and was almost to the end of my post and it quit letting me type the rest and by that time I was done. I uninstalled it and reinstalled but can’t lig in because it keeps interrupting my typing. So frustrated with it!!

  • Needs an update.

    It’s a great app, but I wish I could get notifications, and for some reason the alert panel in the app stays blank when I click it so I can’t see my alerts. I’d love to see how this app can improve after two years since the last update.
  • I want to use this app more, but it’s a mess

    I would prefer to use an app for this site, because I mainly use my iPhone for everything, rather than any other device. So, I’m rarely ever on desktop versions of sites. Unfortunately, the app is constantly, frustratingly glitchy! I can barely log in ~ it takes me several tries. The keyboard keeps going down. It’s like the page is constantly reloading.
