2025 Update:
Since 2018 we have been providing a free egg tracking spreadsheet. While we plan to maintain a free version we found helping users, updates, and enhancements were taking more and more time each year! In order to keep up with folks needs but also maintain a free tracker we have created an Etsy shop where you can purchase reusable and more in-depth tracking sheets. While we will keep a basic sheet alive for free!
To purchase our in-depth tracker that include egg size, color, breed and other factors for tracking visit our Etsy Store! Otherwise read on to get your free tracker.
For our free version read on.

What All Can I Keep Track Of?
There are four main areas you can keep track of for your flock:
- The Poultry (Chicken, Quail, and Ducks)
- The Eggs
- The Expenses (There are many)
- The Income (Not nearly enough)
The Poultry
As with previous years you can log as much or as little information about your flock as you want. Highlights include birth, deaths, lay dates and notes for ducks, chicken, and quail. The only required field is a date for laying if you want the hens of all species to average correctly. Don’t worry about perfection, I sometimes can only get a lay date within a couple of weeks depending on how many pullets I have going that year.The Eggs
Shooooo, folks really have opinions on this area. We have kept it simple by providing a egg total by day and poultry type. Remember if you want to track sizes and colors just see our Etsy shop.
Wow This Is Overwhelming, Where do I start?
First scroll down and make a copy of the sheet into your own Google Drive. Then follow the instructions on sheet one. Summaries and charts are automatically created from entering your chickens and eggs in the various tabs. Don’t worry if you still need help, we have a handy guide from 2018 that still gets you going: Directions on how to use the chicken tracker We also will assist folks (when time allows) via comments or Facebook/Instagram chat. Please remember we don’t make money doing this and we work full time outside of this website.Can I get an Excel/Paper/Other Version of this Egg Tracker?

Great Tool,keep it up!
This is awesome!!! Thanks for being so generous! I would love to have excel sheets for tracking expenses and P&L.
This is wonderful! Thank you so much.
Really like this tracker, definitely helps with management! For 2025, a cool upgrade would be to add Maintenance page – something that tracks coop cleaning, water refills, grit refill etc, nest box material refill/type and then provides nifty statistics to show how often you clean. This could be handy for folks looking for NPIP certification to be able to show a very professional looking log of their management practices.
Another cool update would be a production page for those of us who raise pastured poultry, to look at feed conversion ratios, track grow out weight by week and then look at the effect of different finishing feeds on butcher weight (maybe a way to label groups of poultry according to their finisher, idk.) I will be adding these things to mine so if they don’t end up being rudimentary I’ll send you my calcs in case you want to add in. Awesome, awesome tool!
Wow, what a great tool!!!!
I would love to use this. But it says that I can not open it and to check to make sure the address is correct to open.
2023 is the first year I tracked egg production, expenses, and sales (thanks to your tracker). My hens laid a total of 3619 eggs. I sold 187 dozen eggs, and if I could have sold only 494 more dozen, we would have broken even last year. :)
I’m going to make a 2nd copy of the tracker this year for rabbit production, and I’ll keep you posted if you’re curious!
I would love to get a copy via Excel so add me to the list of interested parties.
Will do, I think I am going to work on that since I have had a few folks reach out recently.
I have had chickens for years, but have never tracked income, expenses, or really anything about them. How do you record inedible eggs? (sometimes we find one frozen) How would you keep track of eggs consumed by your own family? It could be just the difference between eggs produced and eggs sold. I was also thinking of maybe “selling” eggs to my own family for $0. Just so I can have that record as well.
Oh that is a fantastic idea for my next round of updates! Thank you for the suggestion!
Thanks for all your hard work! I use your tracker nearly everyday. Keep up the good work. :)
