HenWise

Backyard chicken keeper? Get today's welfare score for your flock from local weather, breed, and coop setup. Catch heat stress and frostbite early.

Stop guessing whether today is too hot or too cold for your backyard flock. HenWise turns local weather into a clear daily welfare score calibrated to your breeds, comb types, and coop setup.

Every chicken keeper knows the dilemma: a 90°F day is easy on Leghorns but dangerous for Brahmas. A 28°F night is fine for a sealed coop until trapped humidity raises frostbite risk on every comb. Generic phone weather apps tell you how to dress — they do not tell you how to manage your flock today.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Set up your flock: choose your breeds, comb type, age class, and coop ventilation.
2. HenWise checks your local temperature, humidity, dew point, and wind.
3. You get a daily welfare score (Heat or Cold) with a clear action checklist for today. It takes 30 seconds to set up. No account required.

DAILY WELFARE SCORE Your flock's heat-stress or frostbite risk for today, color-coded SAFE / MILD / WARNING / CRITICAL.

ACTION CHECKLIST A short list of practical things to check today — water, ventilation, vulnerable birds first.

RISK BREAKDOWN See whether today's risk comes from temperature, humidity, dew point, or wind.
