United StatesOne day, I did the unthinkable; I updated my wife's phone and her favorite egg tracking app stopped working. Worse, it looked like the developer wasn't planning on updating it. So, what else could I do but build her a replacement. Along the way, we added some features that we think that people raising chickens (and other poultry) might find useful. There are three parts to the app: The "Harvest" tab is designed to be used on a daily basis when you go out and find the latest batch of eggs waiting for you to collect. Sometimes environmental factors such as light or stress can affect egg production. By tracking the egg counts, you can watch for these trends. The "Flock" tab is for keeping tabs on the members of your flock. If you're like us, sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's who in the coop, so adding a picture and a name goes a long way. For the breeders out there, we added a family tree graph. We haven't done this ourselves yet, so any feedback is welcome. The "Finances" tab gives you the ability to see (if you want to) just how much your feathered friends are costing you in feed and other expenses. Or, if you sell your eggs or meat, how much money they are making you.
Great tracking for my business!
I love this app and have used it for years to track egg production. Lately Ive gotten more on top of adding finance day at here and it makes such a good analysis of egg production as an enterprise on my farm. If I had two wishes, they’d be: 1. To be able to have custom date ranges to view finances page so I can refer back to historical data. Ie a different year. 2. That the graph from the harvest screen would show over all time so I can once again scroll and compare data from different years or seasons. At least, I can export and make my own charts but I’d love if it was right there! Thank you for this app💖💖
United StatesUpdate?
Hello! I absolutely love the Mother Hen app. I’ve been using it for about 4 years now. There are a couple things I wish were a little different, would you ever entertain suggestions for an update? The first thought I had was to add a color wheel so you could pick your own color for eggs. The other thought off the top of my head was to have a crop option when uploading photos, because unless it’s the exact shape there are borders. Not a deal breaker, but for aesthetic reasons it would look better. Thank you for reading! Caryn @fivemilecreekfarm
United StatesBackup data
Hi can I backup my data or sign in on other devices?
United StatesSimple and efficient
Love the simplicity of this app. Although I just got it and am still investigation it fully, my only “feedback” is that it would be awesome when you add multiple chicks to the flock if a pop up or something came up so I could fill in lineage and hatch dates for all at once, instead of individually. I recently added 12 chicks from the same lineage and with a one or two day difference on hatch - I could easily change the individual dates that weren’t in the main median date but having to go thru 12 individual records to add the same lineage is time consuming. Yes, first world problem. So far, I’m finding the app to be great tho!
United StatesNeed more breeds
Wish I could have seen the breed list before spending money… none of mine are on it!
United StatesCute but not so functional
I like the idea, but on finances page it often turns sales into purchases which kind of ruins the whole point. Disappointing also don’t like having to pick quail every time on the collecting page It automatically goes to chickens
United StatesGraph numbers repeat?
Other than the graph numbers going 0 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 5 I am pleased with the app
