Broodwell operates entirely on your iPhone with zero server dependency. When you add a new hen, you create a digital card containing her name, breed selection from 12 common varieties, assigned coop location, wing tag number, and acquisition date. Attach photos directly from your camera roll to build a visual reference library.
The egg tracking calendar displays your daily collection totals with quick-tap logging. Mark unusual eggs—double yolks, soft shells, or irregular sizes—with annotation notes that link back to specific birds. Review weekly and monthly production patterns without exporting data or creating external accounts.
When a hen goes broody, activate the 21-day hatch timeline. Broodwell sets automatic checkpoints for first candling on day 7, second candling on day 14, and lockdown protocol on day 18. Check off tasks as you complete them, with all progress saved locally in your device's private storage partition.
Store detailed profiles for every hen—breed classification, coop assignment, unique tag numbers, join dates, and custom photo galleries. All searchable without internet connection.
Log daily egg counts with single-tap interface. Add notes for soft shells, blood spots, or unusual finds. Review historical patterns by week or month with no data export needed.
Track the complete 21-day hatching process from clutch setup to lockdown. Automated reminders for candling checkpoints on days 7 and 14. Monitor multiple broody hens simultaneously.
