This App Needs More Work
I bought this app when I was first getting into chicken-keeping, and I made most of my initial choices based on the breed information provided.
A couple of years into chicken-keeping and Ive found significant errors and misinformation.
One is error "Maran", when the correct name is "Marans", whether singular or plural.
Misinformation exists such as statements that certain breeds are not good foragers, or dont free range. As an experienced chicken owner, all of our multiple breeds both free range over our property and forage every single edible item they find.
In addition, there is other misinformation regarding egg production, egg size and temperament.
We have Barred (Plymouth) Rock, Rhode Island Red, Production Red, Delaware, Australorp, Ameraucana, Sussex, Barnevelder, Orpington, and Wyandotte.
My advice is to research everything you can get your hands on, talk to other chicken people and dont make your decisions based on this app. The app seems to have been written by one person with limited experience - Mother Earth News is usually dead-on, but missed the mark this time.
