Chicken Scratch vs Beak Keeper

Congratulations, you own chickens now. You’re basically a farmer, a zookeeper, and an amateur egg economist. Naturally, you need an app for that. Chicken Scratch is your semi-professional, definitely-overbuilt tool for tracking your backyard flock like you’re managing a Fortune 500 company made of feathers. Features you probably didn’t think you needed: • Add all your chickens (even the one you swear isn’t a rooster) • Log daily egg output like it’s your retirement portfolio • Get reminders to feed, clean, or stop staring at them • Track medical stuff so you feel like a real vet (you’re not) • Charts and stats, because nothing says “fun” like analytics on poop machines Perfect for chicken newbies, casual bird collectors, or people who started with 3 hens and now need a second mortgage to fund feed costs. No logins, no cloud, no crypto, just local data and poultry accountability. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
