100% free and genuinely useful! I am the developer and we have 16 backyard chickens, as well as do meat birds and have a garden. I couldnt find a website or app that had what i wanted so i made it. there's a lot a lot of stuff built in. if you find bugs pls let me know!!
It exposed me for my eggs costing $8/dozen when you factor infrastructure lol
I'm not sharing link in this post because this isn't self promotion. But I made a homestead tracker/planner website for myself. My wife said it was cool and I should share it so I put it in a homestead FB group. The post BLEW up, 800 likes so far and 200 comments. I was blown away. Anyways, its now been 4 days since giving the website to that homestead group and the website has over 700 users! And people from Australia and Canada, I never expected that.
It's 100% free, so it runs off freewill monthly donations from folks able and willing to give. These folks said they want to see it on the appstore so they donated to cover the first years developer fees. I am blown away and just so grateful, I literally didn't plan to even share the website and now I'm putting it on the app store!
Slightly a joke since people ask all the time if you save money having your own chickens just wanted to share. mind you i've only been tracking the egg production for a week so at this rate, it should pay off in 5 years lol.
EDIT: app is henalytics.com
4 acres, we have about 120 trees with drip system going, also have 30 meat chickens on it in tractors. We live 15 minutes away. I go check on chickens every day. The weeds have gotten pretty tall. Mind you, its been soy/corn field for past 150 years so we are actually welcoming to the weeds, just want growth (but not too much). My question, if we were to fence the whole 4 acres in, how would you manage weeds if you dont want to mow it or go out there every single day? Would a cow or few sheep rotationally grazing every few days work? I am not looking for the "you have to live on the property to have anything out there" responses, just ways we might be able to work with this. we have two kiddos under two and not in position to build out there.
i wondered about letting the weeds grow tall then brush hogging and treating almost as a cover crop? TIA
