Born in the backyard

Why Ready Roost

It started with a real coop—and an Excel spreadsheet.

We built our own coop, raised our own backyard chickens, and found ourselves asking the same questions: How many eggs did we collect this week? What are we spending on feed? Who checked the water?

Ready Roost grew from the simple idea that keeping good flock records shouldn’t feel like another chore.
