Hühnerfuchs is a lovingly crafted iPhone app for backyard poultry keepers. Three hens in the garden, a few runner ducks by the pond or a small breeding group – Hühnerfuchs turns your daily life with the birds into a clear, beautiful overview. NEW: NOT JUST CHICKENS Chickens, ducks, geese, quail, turkeys and guinea fowl – each species with its own breed catalogue and its own egg weight range. With a mixed flock, every summary names the species alongside. WHAT YOU DO WITH HÜHNERFUCHS - Record eggs – per animal or as a collective entry by egg colour (ideal for free range) - Document unusual eggs: broken, wind eggs, double yolks, soft-shelled as well as very small and very large ones - Create your own egg colours – with freely chosen display colours - Record and analyse egg weight – average, minimum and maximum per species - Keep full records per animal: ringing with colour, number and position, plus source, purchase date and purchase price - Log departures: reason, sale price and sale date – the animal moves to the archive, the data stays - Track health: illnesses, vaccinations, medication, parasites, routine check-ups - Record group treatments for an entire flock at once - Plan appointments with reminders and repeats – completing one creates the matching health entry automatically - Log the weather automatically if you like – with a temperature trend per flock and calculated daylight hours - Photo journal for special moments – several photos per entry, with tags and a tag filter FEED, LIVESTOCK, EGG SALES Expenses and income end up where they belong: an animal's purchase price can be booked straight as an expense, and a sale is recorded through the income form, which archives the animal along with it. Plus cost per egg, a monthly breakdown by category and profit or loss at a glance. DASHBOARD AT A GLANCE Eggs today and this week, total stock, the health status of every animal, upcoming appointments with a countdown, the top layers of the month and the egg history over selectable periods. ORGANISE YOUR FLOCKS Several coops, runs or breeding groups? Each flock can have its own location – for accurate weather right where the birds are.

A hatch is not just a date to remember. There are the eggs you set, the candling days, the doubts, the lockdown, the hatch, then the chicks that grow and become birds you want to keep tracking. Over time, information can quickly get scattered: a reminder in your calendar, a note on your phone, a forgotten photo, a result written in a notebook, or an origin you are no longer completely sure about. Eggtrackr was designed to bring all of this together in one simple and clear place. You can track natural or artificial incubation, keep your important dates, write observations, add photos, follow fertile, doubtful, removed or hatched eggs, and find the history of your completed hatches. But tracking does not stop at hatch day. Eggtrackr also lets you create records for your chicks and adult poultry, with their species, breed, sex, pen, origin, photos and important life events. This helps you keep a clear record of each bird, know which hatch it came from, follow your breeders, bloodlines and results from one season to the next. Main features: • natural and artificial incubation tracking; • multiple active hatches; • reminders for important steps: candling, lockdown and hatch day; • daily actions and incubation day tracking; • observation journal with notes, events and photos; • fertile, doubtful, removed and hatched egg tracking; • completed hatch history; • hatch statistics and results by batch; • individual records for chicks and adult poultry; • species, breed, sex, pen and origin tracking; • breeder, bloodline and reproduction tracking; • multi-device synchronization; • a complete record of your poultry keeping over time. Eggtrackr is made for backyard chicken keepers, poultry enthusiasts, small breeders, incubator users and anyone who wants a clearer way to follow their hatches and birds without making things complicated. Chickens, ducks, quails, geese, turkeys or other poultry: the goal is the same, keeping a reliable record of your hatches, your birds and your results. Some advanced features may require an Eggtrackr Premium subscription.
