Coop Ledger
Homesteadweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Chickens are generous but undocumented. The Coop Ledger fixes the paperwork side: the date, how many eggs, the hen of the day — because there is always one who has earned a mention — and notes. Over the seasons it becomes a quiet almanac of the flock: who lays when, and what the moult really cost you.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
Why keep track of how many eggs my chickens lay?
Because the count is the flock's health report. A steady drop can mean a hidden nest, a moult, short days, or a hen going broody — and you only notice a drop if you know what normal looked like.
What is the hen of the day field for?
Credit where due. It is a free line for the hen who laid first, escaped again, or faced down the neighbour's cat. Flocks have characters, and the ledger keeps their stories.
Do I need internet in the garden for this to work?
No — the ledger is one HTML file that runs offline in your browser. No account, no signal required at the coop, and nothing you record ever leaves the page. It is yours, like the eggs.
