Track your eggs. Know which breeds are laying. Settle the debate. Chicken Math is the fastest egg tracker for backyard chicken keepers, duck owners, and quail enthusiasts. Tap an egg color, done. Back to your flock in under 10 seconds. HOW IT WORKS Tap the egg color from your grid. It lands in today's basket. Egg color maps to breed automatically — your Ameraucanas get credit for the blue eggs, your Marans for the dark chocolate browns. FEATURES • 10 egg colors — brown, dark brown, blue/green, blue, olive, cream, white, tan speckled, brown speckled, black • Chickens, ducks, and quail in one app • Per-breed production stats and weekly trends • Back-date entries — forgot yesterday?

WHO IT'S FOR Backyard chicken keepers who want to know which breeds are actually pulling their weight. Duck and quail owners tired of juggling multiple apps. Anyone who's ever argued with a partner about how many eggs are in the fridge. Built by a chicken keeper, for chicken keepers. Designed to be used with muddy boots on.
