About FlockPlanner
A free tool built for backyard chicken keepers who want to plan smarter — not just wing it.
What We Do
FlockPlanner is a free planning tool for backyard chicken keepers. Tell us your egg goals, climate, and experience level — we'll recommend the right breeds, calculate how many hens you need, estimate feed costs, and help you size your coop.
Our breed database covers 65 breeds across American, European, Mediterranean, Asian, and hybrid categories — with egg production data, temperament notes, climate hardiness ratings, and more.
