Everything you need, nothing you don't.

    Track each bird with name, breed, hatch date, photos. Inline-edit anywhere, anytime — even from your phone in the run.

  • One-tap daily log

    Auto-save eggs, mortality, feed, free-range hours, and notes. Backfill any past day. 7-day egg heatmap on the dashboard.

  • AI photo checks

    Breed ID, droppings health, comb & wattle, egg shell quality — all from a photo. Powered by Claude vision.

  • Auto-generated schedule

    Vaccine and deworming reminders auto-created when you add a chicken. Get pinged on email, push, or WhatsApp.

  • Cost tracker

    Log feed, bedding, medical. See cost-per-egg and how much you're saving vs. retail egg prices.

  • Care tips from growchicken.com

    Breed-specific articles from our blog show up on each chicken's profile. Right when you need them.

The magic part

Tap a photo. Get a flock vet's second opinion.

Four AI photo checks powered by Claude. Spot signs of anemia, parasites, calcium deficiency, or breed-specific care needs — before they become problems.

  • Breed ID

    Top-3 guesses + one-tap apply

  • Droppings

    Green / yellow / red flag

  • Comb

    Pale comb = anemia signal

  • Egg

    Shell quality + abnormalities

Free up to 10 chickens. $12.99/mo for unlimited.

That's less than a quarter of one chicken per month for unlimited flocks, unlimited AI checks, reminders on email + push + WhatsApp, cost tracker, and breed-specific care tips.

Common questions

Is it really free?
Yes — track up to 10 chickens, get 5 AI checks a month, all the daily logging features. No card required. Upgrade only if you outgrow it.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You stay on the free tier. Your data isn't deleted; you can still log up to 10 chickens. Export everything as CSV from Settings if you want a backup.
Does AI actually work on chicken photos?
It does, but it's not magic. We use Claude vision (made by Anthropic, the same company that built the Claude assistant). It identifies common breeds with ~85% accuracy, flags obvious health issues, and explains everything in plain language. It's not a vet — when something's serious, it tells you to see one.
