## Description

Mother Hen is an all-in-one poultry management tool. Harvest logs daily egg counts to monitor production, while Flock keeps track of each bird with photos and names and provides a family-tree view for breeders. Finances tracks feed costs, other expenses, and revenue from eggs or meat.

Built from a real-world need after your wife's egg-tracking app stopped updating, it's designed for anyone raising chickens (and other poultry) who wants practical tools that fit into daily coop routines. Feedback is welcome as you tailor it to your flock.

## Review summary

Mother Hen is praised for its simplicity, affordability, and solid bird- and finances-tracking features, with good support for large flocks, per-bird egg logging, photo notes, and data export. However, users repeatedly point to drawbacks: no cloud backup or cross-device syncing, limited long-term graph/history and calendar views, lack of bulk entry for multi-bird updates, an incomplete breed list, and photo-management quirks. Overall, it’s a strong, cost-effective flock-keeping tool that would benefit from synchronization, broader analytics, and bulk-operation improvements.

### Pros

- Simple and intuitive to use
- Affordable price point with effective tracking of eggs, feed costs, and finances
- Scales well to large flocks with per-bird logging (eggs by hen) and breed information
- Data export for charts/reports
- Photo feature and ability to add breeds/customize birds

### Cons

- No cloud backup/account or cross-device syncing; data can be lost
- Graphs/history are limited; hard to view long-term trends/all-time data; calendar/egg totals view is missing
- No bulk/multi-bird data entry; updating many birds individually is time-consuming
- Breed list is incomplete; adding missing or custom breeds is cumbersome
- Photo management has bugs/limitations (editing/deleting photos is not straightforward)
