The Chicken Breeding App

Chicken Genetics Calculator — flock records, crosses and colour goals, on your phone

Chicken Genetics Calculator app icon
Chicken Genetics Calculator
Android · Free to start

Make better breeding decisions without spending hours untangling complex chicken colour genetics.

The app turns genotype data into practical answers: which pairing to make, what offspring may inherit, whether your current flock can reach a target colour, which genes are missing and what to buy. Use it to reduce trial and error, avoid unnecessary purchases, and work toward cleaner, more consistent colours over future generations.

Plan across generations

Carry selected outcomes into F2 and later generations, compare intercrosses with backcrosses, and see how a breeding route develops beyond a single mating. Predictions describe expected genetic outcomes; individual hatches can vary.

Keep your flock organised

Record each chicken's colour or variety, sex, hatch date, parents, generation, clan, photos and known genetics. Group and sort your flock so useful breeding birds are easier to find, and track colour development with photos that are dated and organised automatically.

Turn a goal colour into next steps

Choose a documented colour — or enter a custom target genotype — to see whether your flock can start the route, what should be checked first, what is missing, and which mating comes next. Save the plan as a project and return to it across breeding seasons.

Learn as you go

A built-in genetics introduction and searchable glossary explain the genes, inheritance terms and colour patterns used throughout the app — the same ground the free Genetics Guide and Glossary cover here on the site.

Planner access

Planner access adds larger flock and project capacity, more photos, alternative-route comparison, and cross logging. Everything listed under "Start free" above stays available without it.

How this relates to the free tools on this site. The web tools answer one question at a time: what would this single cross produce (Breeding Outcomes), how do two varieties differ (Compare Standards), and which varieties does this photo line up with (Identify). They stay free, with no account. The app is for the part the website cannot do — keeping your actual birds on file and following a colour goal across seasons.
