Free tool · Cluck's Ledger 🐔
Is your backyard flock actually worth it?
Everyone quietly wonders it. Cluck's Ledger answers it: log what you spend on feed and the coop and the eggs you collect, and see your real cost per dozen next to the store price — plus exactly when your coop pays for itself.
Free · your data is private to you · no spreadsheet required.
Log what you spend
Feed, bedding, the coop, the birds — drop in costs as you go. Feed is just a tap.
Log the eggs
A quick daily count. That's the whole habit — the maths runs itself.
See the truth
Your real cost per dozen vs. the store, monthly spend, and your coop break-even date.
What Cluck's Ledger tells you
- Your real cost per dozen — the number that settles every “are eggs cheaper than the store?” argument, using your feed prices, not averages.
- Coop break-even — track your setup cost down to the day your egg savings pay it back.
- Monthly spend & trends — where the money actually goes, so nothing creeps up on you.
🥚 The honest promise
Kept chickens are rarely cheaper than the cheapest supermarket eggs — and that's fine. Cluck's Ledger won't pretend otherwise. It gives you the honest number, so you know what your flock costs and can decide the fresh eggs, better welfare, and the joy of it are worth the difference. Real figures beat a rosy guess every time.
Free to use
Create a free account (a magic email link or Google — no password), add your flock, and start logging. Your data is private to your account. We'll add optional premium extras later (multiple flocks, projections, exports) — the core cost-and-break-even tracker stays free.
