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
Great tracking for my business!
I love this app and have used it for years to track egg production. Lately Ive gotten more on top of adding finance day at here and it makes such a good analysis of egg production as an enterprise on my farm. If I had two wishes, they’d be:
1. To be able to have custom date ranges to view finances page so I can refer back to historical data. Ie a different year.
2. That the graph from the harvest screen would show over all time so I can once again scroll and compare data from different years or seasons.
At least, I can export and make my own charts but I’d love if it was right there! Thank you for this app💖💖

Update?
Hello! I absolutely love the Mother Hen app. I’ve been using it for about 4 years now. There are a couple things I wish were a little different, would you ever entertain suggestions for an update?
The first thought I had was to add a color wheel so you could pick your own color for eggs.
The other thought off the top of my head was to have a crop option when uploading photos, because unless it’s the exact shape there are borders. Not a deal breaker, but for aesthetic reasons it would look better.
Thank you for reading!

Backup data
Hi can I backup my data or sign in on other devices?
Simple and efficient
Love the simplicity of this app. Although I just got it and am still investigation it fully, my only “feedback” is that it would be awesome when you add multiple chicks to the flock if a pop up or something came up so I could fill in lineage and hatch dates for all at once, instead of individually. I recently added 12 chicks from the same lineage and with a one or two day difference on hatch - I could easily change the individual dates that weren’t in the main median date but having to go thru 12 individual records to add the same lineage is time consuming. Yes, first world problem. So far, I’m finding the app to be great tho!

Need more breeds
Wish I could have seen the breed list before spending money… none of mine are on it!
Cute but not so functional
I like the idea, but on finances page it often turns sales into purchases which kind of ruins the whole point. Disappointing also don’t like having to pick quail every time on the collecting page
It automatically goes to chickens

Gets stuck all the time
Every second timer try to,open the app it is stuck in this useless Chart screen site. I never go there and the only way to use the app than is to shut down the iPad. And even then it won’t work half the time. What a waste of money!
Great app overall
Great app overall and very handy but I do wish there was an option for multiple flocks to keep more individualised ‘records’ for each pen or even breed you have.
Graph numbers repeat?
Other than the graph numbers going 0 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 5 I am pleased with the app
Great app!
I love this app!! Helps me keep track of my 100+ birds. I do wish when you add new birds adding a hatch date would be an option too. When you add 30 to your flock at a time it is a pain to go in and add individual hatch date for each bird.
Fills the bill!
This is a tremendous help with my flock. I would pay more tor all this does!
Things I would dream of adding would be: First, a place to record egg orders for later as I can only come in and record them after I sell them. Second, a way to separate out say the meat birds and the egg layers or maybe the chickens and the turkeys so that we can see cost/feed data separate.

Very handy app
I really like this app. It makes managing my small flock easy. The accounting part is great for tracking sales and expenses, although I have not found a way to actually edit expenses or delete a wrong entry. The only thing missing is a chart like flockplenty has. Otherwise I love this app, good work.

Pretty good
I have a flock of about 50 chickens. I like the app, if I could change or add anything. It would be to be able to log an entry for multiple chickens at once or your whole flock. For example, my chickens are all receiving medication for 5 days. I had to go in to each chickens profile and individually add their medication treatment. Took over an hour. If the whole flock or multiple chickens are receiving same thing. It would be so much nicer to be able to mass add them. And a spot to add their feather/coat color. For instance my ameraucana are in multiple different colors. Even with pics it would be nice to have a list to pick from. For now
I’m typing into the notes tab on bottom. Or a spot for band # to be typed in close to chickens name. Rather then just the band color. It would be perfect with those changes!

Amazing Poultry App!!!
I was looking for something just like this to keep track of my flock. The app is easy to use and has just the right features to keep track of the most important care information needed to assure the house is being properly cared for.
I love the photo feature and option to name each fowl with a numbering system and name if wanted.
I also love that additional breeds can be added.
Perhaps in future updates these features could be added to address individual fowl:
Illness with Date Schedule
Veterinarian Schedule
Immunizations and Supplements List
Banding Labels or ID Marks
Temperament
Housing Location
(for more than one hen and
rooster pen)
Marking for Feeding Types
(Free Range, Feed, Scraps, Treats)
I know this is a lot of extras, but I would be willing to pay much more for an app with these additional features, and I would like it to be this app as this is the best one I have found so far for keeping my flock organized and healthy.
Thank you so much for deleting your wife’s former app and creating a new one! This one gets an AAA+++ from this Grams, a long time farmer and historic Appalachian.

Great but missing some breeds!
This is a wonderful app for the few hours I have had it. I would give it five stars but there is sooooo many missing duck breeds that it drives me crazy!!!! Please add Muscovy ducks! They make up most of my flock for meat and eggs and I can’t log the data because the breed isn’t in there.
