Chicken Scratch vs Roost

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/

Roost is a private logbook for backyard chicken keepers. Log the eggs you collect in a couple of taps, keep a record of every hen and flock, and, if you sell eggs, find out whether your flock is paying for itself. No account needed, and nothing is ever sent to us. TRY IT FREE FOR TWO WEEKS Start a free two-week trial and the whole app is yours, every feature, no limits. Nothing is charged during the trial and you can cancel it in your iPhone Settings at any point. If you keep going after that, Roost Pro is a monthly or yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime payment. WHY KEEPERS CHOOSE ROOST • Log today's eggs in seconds, or backdate any day you missed • Your records live on your phone and survive app updates. Nothing is lost, nothing is uploaded • Works fully offline, even at the far end of the yard with no signal • No account, no sign-up, no analytics KEEP YOUR FLOCK IN ORDER • Add flocks and individual birds, with photos and notes • Tap which hens laid to build your top-layers list • See eggs today, this week, this month, and all time at a glance • A simple trend so you can spot when laying slows WHAT ROOST PRO INCLUDES • Logging flocks, birds and eggs, with no limits • Track feed, bedding, vet and equipment costs • Log egg sales, pack sizes and the customers who buy them • Know your real cost per egg and your profit • See eggs on hand, updated as you collect and sell • Monthly production charts and your top-laying hens • Export everything to a spreadsheet, and back up your data Everything you've already logged stays yours to view, export and back up, whether or not you keep Pro. Roost is a logbook, not a vet. It keeps the records you enter; it does not give advice about keeping chickens. Made in Ireland by Bramble Apps.
