Flock records
Every batch from arrival to depopulation: breed, hatch date, shed, bird numbers and full history.
Poultry farm software: flock records, eggs & orders
Poultry farms: flocks tracked, orders delivered. More eggs counted, less chasing.
Collection counts sit on a shed whiteboard, vaccinations live in a diary in the ute and cafés ring for eggs at 6am. We build poultry farm systems that track every flock from day-old chick to last tray, take orders online and plan the delivery run. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for poultry farm management software that handles the sheds and the sales?
A poultry farm is a livestock operation, a packing shed and a delivery business rolled into one. You're tracking flocks, feed, health, losses and lay rates every day. On top of that come grading, cartons, farm gate sales, market stalls, wholesale cafés and a delivery ute. Most of it ends up on whiteboards, in diaries and in somebody's phone, which is fine until the auditor turns up or bird flu shows up two districts over.
Wollopit builds custom poultry farm software around how your farm actually runs. Collectors log counts on a phone in the shed. Health, feed and paddock moves are recorded as they happen. Customers and cafés order online and the run plans itself by area. We connect the tools you already use like Xero, Square and Shopify, then host and maintain the lot so you can get back to the birds.
01The problems
What we hear from poultry farms
Does your poultry farm have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most poultry farms we talk to know their birds inside out. The records are the problem. Everything's written somewhere, just never in the same place twice.
- The problemCounts on a whiteboardCollectors tally trays on the shed whiteboard. It gets wiped by Monday and nobody can say when the lay rate started slipping.How we fix itCollection counts logged per shed on a phone, with lay rate charts by flock age that show a dip the day it starts.
- The problemHealth records on paperVaccinations, treatments and withholding periods scribbled in a diary that lives in the ute.How we fix itVaccination schedules per flock, treatment logs with withholding dates and reminders before the next dose is due.
- The problemLosses counted in your headMortalities and fox losses go unrecorded, bird numbers drift and a problem shed isn't spotted until it's bad.How we fix itDaily mortality and cull logs with a cause, running bird counts per shed and alerts when losses spike.
- The problemFeed use is a guessSilo deliveries turn up but nobody knows what each flock eats or what a dozen really costs to produce.How we fix itFeed deliveries and silo levels per shed, feed per bird per day and a real cost per dozen.
- The problemPaddock moves by feelMobile sheds get shifted when it looks right and you can't prove your stocking density if someone asks.How we fix itPaddock and caravan moves logged with dates and rest periods. Birds per hectare worked out for you.
- The problemPacking shed paperworkGrade counts, carton stock and batch codes kept on scraps of paper next to the grader.How we fix itPacking logs by grade and size, carton and label stock with reorder alerts and batch codes for traceability.
- The problemOrders by phoneCafés ring before sunrise, market regulars text for a tray and the farm gate fridge runs empty.How we fix itOnline orders for eggs and birds with pickup times, delivery days and farm gate stock shown live.
- The problemWholesale rewritten weeklyThe same cafés and grocers want the same eggs every week and someone rewrites the list every Sunday night.How we fix itWholesale accounts with standing orders, their own pricing and invoices going straight into Xero or MYOB.
- The problemDelivery runs planned looselyThe run lives in the driver's head. Miss one café and you get a cranky call at 9am.How we fix itRuns grouped by area on Google Maps with a packing list per stop and an SMS when eggs are on the way.
- The problemBiosecurity with no recordsVisitors, vehicles and contractors come and go with no log. If avian influenza turns up nearby you're scrambling.How we fix itQR visitor sign-in at the gate, vehicle and clean-down logs and a biosecurity plan kept current.
- The problemPullet waitlists in a notebookBackyard keepers ring about point-of-lay hens and meat birds and the waitlist is a mess of names and numbers.How we fix itOnline pre-orders for pullets and meat birds with deposits, pickup days and a waitlist that sorts itself.
- The problemAudit scrambleFree range and accreditation audits mean digging through diaries, invoices and phone photos the night before.How we fix itEvery count, treatment, move and visitor in one place, exported ready for the auditor.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole farm, on one system.
These are the systems poultry farms ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful once they're joined up.
Flock & production
Every flock, every tray, logged in the shed.
Collectors log counts per shed on a phone before the trays hit the packing shed. Lay rate, bird numbers and flock age sit side by side so a dip shows up the same morning instead of at the end of the month.
- Flock batches with breed and hatch date
- Counts per shed on any phone
- Works with patchy shed reception
- Lay rate charts by flock age
- Seconds, cracks and floor eggs noted
- Running bird numbers per shed
- Mortality and cull logs with causes
- Alerts when production or losses shift
- Flock history from arrival to depop
Health & biosecurity
Health records and gate logs you can actually find.
Vaccinations, treatments and vet visits are recorded against the flock they belong to, with reminders before anything's due. Visitors and vehicles sign in at the gate with a QR code so you've got a proper trail if a disease scare hits.
- Vaccination schedules per flock
- Treatment logs with withholding dates
- Vet visits and notes
- Reminders before doses are due
- QR visitor sign-in at the gate
- Vehicle and contractor logs
- Clean-down and footbath checks
- Biosecurity plan kept current
Feed & paddocks
Know what a dozen really costs.
Feed deliveries and silo levels are logged per shed so you can see what each flock eats and what it costs to produce a dozen. Paddock moves for mobile sheds are tracked with rest periods and stocking density worked out for you.
- Feed deliveries and invoices
- Silo levels with low-feed alerts
- Feed per bird per day
- Cost per dozen by flock
- Mobile shed moves logged
- Paddock rest periods
- Birds per hectare calculated
- Water use per shed
Orders & wholesale
Cafés reorder themselves. Locals order online.
Farm gate buyers, market regulars and subscribers order online and pay with Stripe. Cafés and grocers get their own portal with standing orders and their own pricing, with invoices going straight into Xero or MYOB.
- Online shop for eggs and birds
- Weekly egg subscriptions
- Pullet and meat bird pre-orders
- Wholesale accounts with own pricing
- Standing orders by delivery day
- Invoices into Xero or MYOB
- Farm gate stock shown live
- Market pre-orders for pickup
- Credit limits and account holds
Runs & audits
The run sorted. The auditor sorted.
Orders drop into delivery runs by area with a packing list for every stop and a map for the driver. Every count, treatment, move and visitor record is already in the system so audit day is an export instead of a weekend.
- Runs grouped by area
- Google Maps route for the driver
- Packing list per stop
- SMS when eggs are on the way
- Proof of delivery on the phone
- Batch codes per delivery
- Audit export in one click
- Records kept for as long as you need

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your poultry farm: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We walk the sheds, the packing room and the run with you, then work out where the counts, records and orders are falling through the cracks.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your flocks, sheds, paddocks, health records, customers, runs, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like shed counts or wholesale orders.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things poultry farms ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can cafés and shops order wholesale?
Yes. Wholesale accounts can place standing orders with their own pricing and delivery days. Invoices can go straight into Xero or MYOB.
Will it work in the sheds with bad reception?
Yes. We can build the collection and health logging to work offline on a phone, then sync once it's back in range.
Can it help with free range and accreditation audits?
Yes. Counts, treatments, paddock moves, stocking density and visitor logs are all recorded as you go, so you can export what the auditor needs in one hit.
Can it handle biosecurity sign-in?
Yes. Visitors and vehicles sign in with a QR code at the gate, answer your declaration questions and get logged with the time and reason for their visit.
We already use Xero and Square. Do we have to switch?
No. We build around what works. If Xero, Square or your online shop are doing their job we connect to them. If something's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.
How much does a poultry farm system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like shed count logging or an online egg shop can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most poultry farms we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
