From hen to history,
in under five minutes.
Henventory is a tiny piece of software with a clear job: capture every egg, every hen, every quiet detail, and turn the running total into something you actually want to look at. Here's how it goes.
Five steps, in detail.
Meet your flock.
Add each of your hens with a name, breed, hatch date, and a 'how to tell apart' note. Pick a status (Pullet, Layer, Molting, Retired) and you're set.
Log a collection in ten seconds.
Tap the hen, tap the count, done. Most folks log right at the coop on their phone. Add a note if anything's interesting โ soft shell, double yolker, broody behavior.
Watch the patterns emerge.
Henventory quietly stitches every entry into trends โ daily counts, per-hen averages, day-of-week patterns, seasonal heatmaps. A few weeks in, you'll know who's pulling her weight.
Keep a journal worth re-reading.
Some days the eggs aren't the story. Drop a quick journal entry โ observation, vet note, weather, predator scare โ and tag the hens it's about. Years from now, you'll be glad you did.
Share the chore (and the credit).
Invite the rest of the household so everyone logs into the same flock. Pop logs the afternoon pickup, the kids log the morning, and the data lines up without anyone double-counting.
Less spreadsheet, more chicken-keeping.
Henventory replaces the back-of-the-egg-carton tally and that one spreadsheet you keep meaning to update.
"I had eight hens and a notebook with three years of half-finished tallies. Two weeks in, I knew Penelope was carrying the team and Mrs. Henderson was due for a vet check. Worth it."
The early bird gets the app.
Henventory is in early preview โ free to join, and free forever if you join now. Every feature available today gets grandfathered into your account for keeps. The worm rewards the early.
Not sure what you need?
Henventory has two modes. Flock mode just counts the eggs. Layer mode tracks each hen by name. Compare them side by side, tap any step to peek under the hood, and pick whatever fits. (You can switch later โ your data stays put.)
Flock mode is for folks who want to know how many eggs the coop produced โ not who laid which one. One number per collection. No hen setup, no dropdowns. The faster path.

Layer mode adds the My Flock tab โ a roster of each of your hens with breed, hatch date, and how-to-tell-apart notes. Every egg you log gets attributed to a specific bird, so you can compare productivity, spot a hen who's gone quiet, and crown the Employee of the Month.
