For backyard chicken keepers

Simple records for the backyard flock.

CoopKeeper makes a one-time-purchase spreadsheet for egg counts, feed costs, and what a dozen actually costs you — and a free lite log if you just want to track eggs.

The workbooks

Choose a tracker

Both files include sample data for a seven-bird backyard flock so you can see how the dashboard works before you type in your own birds.

The Flock Tracker dashboard with live totals for hens, eggs, feed costs, and a chart of eggs collected by month.

Flock Tracker

$12 planned price, USD

The full workbook. Log eggs, feed, other expenses, sales, and health notes. The dashboard calculates laying rate, cost per egg, cost per dozen versus the grocery store, revenue, and net.

How it works

Set up in about fifteen minutes

These are ordinary spreadsheet files, not an app and not a subscription. You download a workbook, keep it on your computer or in Google Drive, and type in your own records.

1

Get the file

Download Egg Log Lite for free, or the Flock Tracker once checkout is connected. Open it in Excel or upload it to Google Sheets.

2

Replace the sample flock

The file comes filled in with a sample flock (names like Penny and Maple) so every dashboard number has something to show. Overwrite those rows with your birds.

3

Log as you go

Add today’s eggs — and, in the full tracker, feed bags and expenses. The dashboard is all formulas. You don’t type totals there.

About the shop

A small, new shop. Honest about it.

CoopKeeper is an independent shop making digital tools for people who keep a few hens in the backyard. We started with a flock tracker because that is the question the workbook is built to answer: what does a backyard egg actually cost?

There is no warehouse, no mobile app, and no subscription. You buy a file (or download the free one), and you keep it. This shop is new, so you will not find customer counts, reviews, or a long company history on these pages — we would rather leave those blank than invent them.

The Flock Tracker and Egg Log Lite are finished. A coloring book is underway. Payment checkout for paid files will be connected before we take any orders.

FAQ

Questions we expect

What programs do the trackers work in?

Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. The formulas are written to work in both. There is no VBA, no Excel-only functions, and no special add-in. In Google Sheets: upload the file, choose Open with Google Sheets, then File → Save as Google Sheets. Do not rename the sheet tabs.

What is the difference between Egg Log Lite and the Flock Tracker?

Lite tracks your birds and daily eggs — totals and eggs per hen per day. The Flock Tracker adds feed and supply costs, other expenses, egg sales, a health log, and automatic cost-per-egg and cost-per-dozen math, including a comparison to the grocery-store price you enter.

Is this a subscription?

No. Lite is a free file. The Flock Tracker is planned as a one-time purchase. You download the workbook and keep it. We do not host your flock data.

Can I use the file for a household egg stand?

Yes. The license is for you and your household, including eggs you sell to neighbors or at a stand. You may not resell, share, or repackage the workbook itself, or use it as the basis of a competing template you sell to other people. See the Terms of Use.

Why does the dashboard show a seven-bird flock I don’t have?

That is sample data, included on purpose so you can see the dashboard working. The sample flock is named “Maple Street Flock” and runs mid-September through mid-November 2026. Replace or clear those rows before you rely on the totals for your own birds. The Start Here sheet walks through it.

Can I buy the Flock Tracker right now?

Not yet. The file is finished, and the planned price is $12 USD, but payment checkout is not connected. The buy button on the product page is disabled on purpose — we are not taking orders or card numbers on this site. Egg Log Lite is available as a free download today.

When will the coloring book be for sale?

When it is finished. Pages are still being drawn. This site will be updated with a title, page count, price, and a way to buy it — on this shop, on Amazon, or both — only when that is actually true. Sample pages on the coloring book page are real pages from the work in progress.

What’s your refund policy?

Once paid downloads are offered, we will refund a purchase if the file is defective or will not open in Excel or Google Sheets, if you ask within 14 days and delete your copies. Details are on the Refund Policy page. That policy will apply when checkout opens; no paid sales are happening yet.
