    Layers, growers and chicks, each tracked by age.

  • Egg collections

    Full trays and loose eggs, with cracked and dirty ones kept apart.

  • Sales

    Priced by the tray or the egg, and checked against your stock.

  • Credit

    Buyers who pay later stay on your list until they've paid.

  • Mortality

    Each loss with its cause, so patterns stand out.

  • Vaccinations

    Every flock's plan, with a reminder on your phone.

  • Expenses

    Feed, labour, medication and bills.

  • Team

    Workers and their daily check-in.
