About

HenPass

Features
Read full description

HenPass keeps your whole flock organized. Every hen and rooster gets their own profile and health passport – like the paper folder many keepers already keep, but always in your pocket. ONE PROFILE PER HEN Photo, name, breed, hatch date, hen or rooster, when they joined you, where they came from (for example a rescue), leg-ring color and personality. HEALTH LOG Record symptoms, diagnoses, vet visits, weight, vaccinations and medication in seconds – for one hen or the whole flock at once. MEDICATION & EGG WITHDRAWAL Enter the withdrawal period and HenPass shows "eggs paused until …" for that hen and across your flock. VET PRINTOUT Create a clear PDF for one hen or the whole flock and share or print it for your vet. RAINBOW BRIDGE When a chicken passes, keep their story as a gentle memory instead of deleting it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account, no cloud. Your flock data stays on your phone. Save a backup file whenever you like. A small ad keeps HenPass free – personalized only with your consent. English and German. HenPass helps you keep records. It does not replace your vet.
