Help or Question

I’m loving the app so far. I’ve added my new babies and am finding everything pretty explanatory. I have one problem. I had a chick die and it did let me put that in the history but it not take her out of my flock. I wish I could keep her info in the app so remember my notes, but I wish it
Took her out of My Flock number. If I’m missing something, could someone fill me in please?

Simple easy to use

Have been using this app on and off for 7ish years. I love the simplicity of it. I can’t find another one that tracks eggs and feed costs as easily as this one. I like that I don’t have to name each chicken or create a flock. Just simple add your feed add your eggs or meat and it calculates it all up for you.

Almost perfect!

First off I really enjoy this app - it’s really cheap and works well for the price point. A tutorial would be nice as some feature took me a second to figure out but overall easy to use. The only thing I have any issues with is my graph will only display roughly a week and a half or so and not the entire log of egg records. A small complaint but I’d love to be able to see the whole visualization of the graph from furthest back to current.

The best app for chicken lovers 🤍

Absolutely love this app! The best backyard chicken app I’ve ever used. The only thing I’d improve on is the family tree graph, (so you can see both parents on the graph and not just one at a time).
We love using this to keep track of all our chickens and hatches, and I love that you can add multiple photos to see all the different stages of your babies growing up!! 10/10!

Review

I loved this app up until my phone was destroyed and I lost all the data I had on my app over the past 3 years since there isn’t a log in for this app I’m guessing there is no way to save it
