Small calculators we built because we kept working the same things out on paper. Free, no signup, and they work on a phone in the garden.

• Incubation calculator →Put in the day you set the eggs and it works out when to candle, when to stop turning, and when to expect them.Chickens, quail, ducks, geese, turkeys and guinea fowl
• Coop & run size calculator →How much coop, run, perch and nest box a flock actually needs — worked out by breed size, not the one-size-fits-all figure everyone quotes.Bantam through heavy breeds
• Feed & running cost calculator →What your birds eat, how often you will buy a sack, and the honest cost of an egg once everything else is counted.Chickens, bantams, quail and ducks
• Which chicken breed suits you? →Answer four questions about your garden and what you want from them, and get a shortlist worth researching.18 breeds commonly kept in the UK
• Brooder temperature schedule →Give it a hatch date and it turns "drop three degrees a week" into actual dates you can pin to the wall.Chicks, quail, ducklings, poults and keets
