## What is Backyard Chicken Keeper?

Coop is the backyard chicken keeper's complete companion - track daily egg production, manage flock health, and discover which hen is your best layer. Log eggs in seconds each morning, monitor health events with a built-in conditions reference, and track incubation day by day. The breed database covers 60+ popular breeds with laying rates, temperament, and climate hardiness. Expense tracking reveals the true cost of your eggs (brace yourself). Whether you have 4 hens or 40, Coop turns your flock into a well-managed, data-backed operation.

EGG TRACKING
Log your daily egg count in under 10 seconds - the fastest morning ritual in the coop. Tap the +/- counter, done. Track individual hens in detailed mode, log egg colors from your mixed-breed flock, and view a calendar heatmap of your production history. Monthly totals, weekly averages, and laying rate trends reveal patterns you never noticed before.

FLOCK MANAGEMENT
Every bird in your flock, individually profiled. Add photos, track breeds from a library of 60+ varieties, log personality notes, and monitor each hen's status - laying, molting, broody, or sick. Bird profiles feel like character pages, because your hens have characters.

HEALTH TRACKING
Log health events with severity levels, symptom checklists, treatment notes, and follow-up reminders. The built-in conditions reference covers respiratory illness, digestive problems, egg issues, parasites, and injuries - searchable by symptom. When something's wrong with a bird, answers are one tap away.

INCUBATION TRACKER
Set eggs on day 0 and let Coop guide you through candling days, lockdown, and hatch day. Milestone notifications fire automatically - you will never miss the day 18 lockdown. Track fertility rates and hatch results.

BREED DATABASE
Explore 60+ popular breeds with laying rates, egg color, temperament, cold hardiness, broodiness, and care notes. Rhode Island Red, Buff Orpington, Easter Egger, Silkie, ISA Brown, Australorp, and dozens more. Free tier includes 15 breeds.

EXPENSE TRACKING (PRO)
The true cost of eggs calculator is Coop's most talked-about feature. Log every bag of feed, vet bill, and equipment purchase. Coop divides total expenses by total eggs and tells you exactly what your eggs cost per dozen. The number is usually surprising. Chicken keepers love it anyway.

SEASONAL CARE GUIDE
Hemisphere-aware seasonal tips update automatically throughout the year - spring broodiness checks, summer heat stress protocols, fall molting guidance, winter frostbite prevention. The app feels alive because it knows what month it is.

AI FLOCK ASSISTANT (PRO)
Ask anything about your flock and get actionable answers with your birds' history as context. "My hen has a swollen crop that smells sour - what do I do?" or "Goldie stopped laying 5 days ago - what could it be?" Powered by Grok.
