About this app

Roost is the simple, beautiful way to manage your backyard chickens. Whether you have three hens or thirty, Roost keeps egg production, health records, and breed information all in one place.

FLOCK MANAGEMENT
Add each bird to your flock with breed, name, age, and photo. Track which hens are laying, which are molting, and which need attention. See your entire flock at a glance on one screen.

EGG TRACKING & PRODUCTION
Log daily egg counts by bird or by coop. View production trends over weeks and months. Know exactly which breeds are your best layers, spot drops before they become problems, and see seasonal patterns in your flock's output.

BREED LIBRARY
Browse detailed profiles for popular chicken breeds — Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, Silkies, Orpingtons, Australorps, Leghorns, Wyandottes, Sussex, and heritage varieties. Each profile includes temperament, egg color and size, cold and heat hardiness, broodiness, and expected annual production.

HEALTH & CARE LOG
Record vaccinations, treatments, worming schedules, and vet visits for every bird. Track symptoms and monitor recovery. Keep a complete health history so nothing falls through the cracks.

COOP MANAGEMENT
Log coop cleaning, bedding changes, and maintenance tasks. Track feed types and costs to understand what your flock really costs to keep. Whether you have a single coop or multiple runs, Roost organizes it all.

PREDATOR & BIOSECURITY
Identify common chicken predators — hawks, foxes, raccoons, snakes, weasels — and log incidents. A biosecurity checklist helps you harden your coop and protect your flock with practical tips for latches, hardware cloth, and run covers.

MOLTING & SEASONAL CARE
Track molting periods, shortened daylight laying dips, and winter care routines. Know what's normal and when something needs attention.

WORKS OFFLINE
All your flock data stays on your device. No account required. No internet connection needed. No ads. No tracking. Your chickens, your data.
