A nice review by one of our users:
I ordered the basic program, through the Members discount, that was offered earlier this past year.
I have been using the program since Jan. 01/10..
Outstanding!
I'm not a computer expert, or an accountant, just an old guy that raises too many Chickens, the ease of operating, the excellent support offered by Andrew have made my record keeping a couple of minute a day task. No more notes, jotted in a journal or on a scrap of paper, everything that I need to know is presented to me in an easy to read and update format.
It was worth the price, just for the pedigree tracking!
Keeping track of each chicks bloodline, which Rooster x Hen produced my better chicks, which Roosters may not be up to fertility job, all there in an easy to follow and edit. It even has an address book feature that I can use to keep track of where my chicks are or where I got some good birds from.
WELL worth the $!
Thank-you for making this, easy to use, easy to understand, from an older, not really computer literate Chicken owner!

I breed Show Birds, d'Uccle's and Booted Bantams, this program is a GREAT in keeping track of my breeding pens, who's producing fertile eggs and how many chicks come from each pen. Incubating record are easy to access and to up date, the Expense Journal is the best I've every used, clear, simple, and uncomplicated.
I recommend this program to anyone who is looking for a clear, simple to use and priced right record keeping system. With Top Notch customer support

I use the chick chart everyday. I have found it to be very helpful in keeping track of the work my girls are doing. I also like that I can track the egg sales that I have. This is a great program thanks for all the hard work and for helping me to use the program correctly.
