Flockline

Flockline is a digital poultry-care service designed to help backyard chicken keepers understand health concerns and manage flock wellbeing. Its mobile health scan uses a photo to assess visible signs such as a hen’s comb, eyes, feathers, feet, droppings and posture, then provides findings, suggested checks and practical next steps in seconds. Guidance is informed by practising avian veterinarians, and the service indicates when a bird may need hands-on care rather than relying on app advice alone.

Flockline also offers follow-up support through Hennie, an assistant that answers questions about topics including feeding, behaviour, eggs and health. Keepers can create a profile for each hen, save scans and notes, track recovery over time and identify birds due for a recheck. The service covers common concerns such as unusual breathing, changes in droppings, appetite loss, egg-laying problems and lethargy. New users can purchase 10 health scans for $1.99, with no subscription required.
