Which record keeping tech device do you use?

I second the Flockstar app on the device of OP’s choice. The app is way to use and provides convenient, clear reports and flock member tracking.

Of course, I think they just raised their monthly price from $3.99 to $5.99.

Edit: They do offer a cheaper annual plan if you know you'll be using it regularly. Hoping for a Black Friday deal!

Ugh, that stinks. I still say it’s worth it, though.

I’m guessing this is chicken related data? I cheat and use the Flockstar app on my phone. I am NOT a fan of subscription apps, but they got me with this one.

Yes, chicken data.

And yes, I like Flockster, too. But I am a spreadsheet nerd, and like to keep track of things like medical checks on my birds. Things like crop checks, mite checks, supplements, etc… I haven’t found a way to do this easily on Flockster (I do keep broody & molting notes there, though). But I also keep behavior notes & bloodline info for breeding purposes. And let’s not even get started with the data I keep for hatching, lol.

Maybe I should make a new spreadsheet to keep track of my spreadsheets…

I do have the annual deal. If don’t remember the cost, but after I used the free version for a couple months, I decided to go all in.

They got me too...

Hey, I'll give them this. I let my subscription lapse for the 12+ months I didn't have chickens, and they still saved all my data from the previous flock!

I have to-do list for my to-do list. Someone help us...

That's good to know for sure! I don't really *need* it yet, since my babies are all still babies. But I was curious about it so I went ahead and tried it. I do really like how it's set up, and I find it to be user-friendly and cover every aspect I'll ever need it for.

Same, I also use this!

Stumbled across the thread and well… I just spent a few hours logging info on Flockstar. Seems like a solid app that will definitely help me keep track of who came from who.
