What's more, keep track of who's being broody, when an injury happens, expenses, or whatever else you'd like.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Chookbook at Free against POS Chickens's $0.99. Chookbook also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). POS Chickens's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
