Chicken Math — Poultry Management Made Simple Whether you keep a small backyard flock or manage a serious breeding programme, Chicken Math gives you everything you need in one app. Track Your Flock Create detailed profiles for every bird with photos, breed, colour, status, and weight history. Organise birds into flocks and pens, add custom tags, and follow each bird through its lifecycle — from juvenile through laying, moulting, broody, and beyond. Log Eggs Effortlessly Record daily egg collection with counts, broken/dirty tallies, weights, and which hens laid. View production trends with charts by flock, by hen, or over any date range. Track individual laying streaks and averages on each bird's profile. Hatch With Confidence Set up incubation runs with a step-by-step wizard and species-specific milestone reminders. Track every egg through candling, fertility checks, and hatch results. Get push notifications so you never miss a key incubation day. Shared Lineage Across Breeders Chicken Math keeps a living pedigree for every bird, traceable across 5+ generations. When you sell or transfer birds or eggs to another breeder on the platform, the full ancestry travels with them — and you can still see how your birds' offspring are performing in their new homes. Share public lineage links with buyers so they can verify pedigree before purchasing. Buy & Sell Hatching Eggs List fertile egg batches on the built-in marketplace with photos, pricing, and breed details. Buyers can browse by region, message sellers directly in-app, and track shipments with integrated courier tracking. Forward Orders Take advance reservations for birds or eggs. Allocate specific birds to orders, post availability on the marketplace, and let buyers request what they need. Breeding Projects Group specific sires and dams around your genetic goals. Track pairings, monitor offspring, and work toward target breeds or mixes over multiple generations. Health & Wellness Log health concerns, treatments, and outcomes for individual birds or entire flocks. Record worm treatments with optional fecal egg count testing.
