Henrow: Chicken Egg Tracker

What it does

WHY HENROW

Most backyard keepers count eggs in their head or on a calendar in the kitchen, and nobody knows whether the flock pays for its feed. Spreadsheets are a chore with muddy boots on. Henrow puts the daily count, the costs and the incubator dates in one small app that opens straight to today.

COUNT EGGS IN ONE TAP

Every flock gets a card on the Today screen with a big counter. Tap + for each egg, tap − to fix a slip. It saves instantly. Keep hens, ducks, quail, turkeys, geese or guinea fowl in separate flocks, each with its own colour and number of laying birds. Forgot yesterday? Use the arrows next to the date to step back and fill it in. Open Cracked & notes to record broken eggs or a note such as "first egg from the pullets".

YOUR COOP AT A GLANCE

Four tiles show eggs in the last 7 days, the 7-day lay rate, the cost per dozen over the last 30 days and the next incubator step, such as "Lockdown: in 3 days".

EGG HISTORY

The Eggs tab shows each month with the total, average per day, best day and cracked eggs, plus a bar chart of every day. Filter by flock to compare your hens with your ducks. Tap any day to change it.

WHAT YOUR EGGS REALLY COST

Add feed, bedding, health, equipment and new birds as expenses, and record egg sales with the number of eggs sold. Henrow divides what you spent by the eggs you collected and shows the cost per egg and per dozen, your egg income and the net for the last 30 days, this month, this year or all time. A category chart shows where the money goes, usually feed. Deleted something by mistake? Tap Undo.

INCUBATOR COUNTDOWN

Set eggs in the incubator and Henrow counts the days for you. It shows the day you are on, a timeline with candling 1, candling 2, lockdown and hatch day, and the date of each step. Defaults are 21 days for chickens, 28 for ducks and turkeys, 17 for quail, 30 for geese and 27 for guinea fowl, and you can change them for your breed. Record how many eggs you removed at candling and how many chicks hatched, and Henrow works out the hatch rate and the hatch rate of fertile eggs.

How a session works

Henrow is an egg counter, coop ledger and incubator countdown for backyard chicken keepers. Tap + for each egg you collect, write down what you spend on feed and what you earn from selling eggs, and Henrow tells you how your hens are laying and what a dozen eggs really costs you. No account, no subscription, no ads.

Questions

Does Henrow need an account?

No. Your flocks, egg counts, costs and hatches stay on this phone. There is no sign-in and no cloud sync.

What is free?

Two of your own flocks and one hatch at a time, plus the sample data. Egg counting, egg history, costs, cost per dozen and CSV export are free. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited flocks and hatches.

How is the cost per dozen worked out?

Henrow adds up the expenses you enter for the chosen period, such as feed and bedding, divides them by the eggs you collected in that period and multiplies by 12. Egg sales are shown separately as income and in the net result.

How does the incubator countdown work?

Enter the set date and species. Henrow shows the current day and the dates for candling, lockdown and hatch day (21 days for chickens by default, and you can change it). If you turn on reminders, you get one notification at 9:00 on each of those days. Dates are estimates, not veterinary advice.

Are there ads?

No. The app has no ads and no analytics SDKs.
