About this app

What Coopkeep does

Coopkeep is the veterinary chart for the backyard flock. It is not an egg-counting cute-bird app — the App Store has six of those already. Coopkeep is the binder the avian vet wishes you'd kept after that disease outbreak two springs ago. The USDA estimates 13 million American households now keep backyard fowl. Most state agriculture departments require some form of flock registration or testing (NPIP-eligible flocks especially). Avian influenza outbreaks 2022-2025 made backyard-flock disease surveillance a real public-health concern. There is no calm consumer iOS app that records the things a vet or USDA APHIS inspector would actually ask: vaccination history, mortality log, medication withdrawal times, symptom diagnostic tree, NPIP-test dates. Coopkeep is that calm binder. No account. No cloud. No social feed. Free. What ships in v1: — Flock register: every bird (or batch) with species, breed, hatch date, source (hatchery or breeder), leg-band ID. Multi-coop, multi-species (chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, quail, peafowl). — Health log: vaccinations (Marek's, Newcastle, MD, fowl cholera, IBV, ILT), treatments, observed symptoms — date-stamped per bird. — Symptom diagnostic tree: deterministic 60-node decision tree covering the common backyard differentials — Marek's vs lymphoid leukosis, coccidiosis, fowl pox, sour crop, vent prolapse, egg binding, bumblefoot, scaly leg mite, gapeworm, respiratory complex (CRD/MG/ILT/IBV). — Medication withdrawal-time tracker: every approved drug used in backyard fowl with its meat/egg withdrawal time per FDA AMDUCA / FARAD lookups (current to early 2026). Critical for owners who eat eggs from treated birds. — Bundled species/breed library: ~80 chicken breeds, 12 duck breeds, 6 turkey breeds with temperament, egg color, broody tendency, weather hardiness. — NPIP / state record: NPIP testing dates, results, certificate number. State agriculture department contacts. — Production journal: optional egg log, weight log, feed-consumption notes — but this is a side feature, not the centerpiece. — No 'Pro,' no in-app purchases. Yours. Coopkeep is for the backyard-flock owner taking a sick hen to the avian vet, the homesteader who eats the eggs from treated birds, the new chicken keeper learning the difference between Marek's and Newcastle, and the seasoned keeper who's lived through an HPAI scare and wants a defensible record next time the state inspector calls. Coopkeep is record-keeping software. It is not veterinary advice, not USDA APHIS, not the FDA. Withdrawal times are general guidance from public FARAD references — always verify with your veterinarian.
