Who This Is For

Your chicks just arrived (or are about to), and the first 30 days are the ones where small problems become big problems fast if you're not tracking them.

This is for anyone who wants a simple, printable system on the wall or clipboard by the brooder — not another guide to read, but a tool to actually use every day.

From The Lovely Hen

The Lovely Hen is a small, real working homestead — not a stock-photo brand. Every guide is written from actual hands-on experience raising, hatching, and troubleshooting our own backyard flock, then organized so you're not stuck hunting through forums for the one fact you actually need.

Questions Before You Buy

How will I get my planner after I buy?

Your PDF is delivered automatically to the email you use at checkout, right after your payment goes through. No shipping, no waiting — just check your inbox (and spam folder, just in case).

Can I print it more than once?

Yes — it's designed to be reused. Print a fresh tracker table for every new batch of chicks.

What format is it, and can I read it on my phone?

Yes. It's a standard PDF, so it opens on any phone, tablet, or computer, and you're welcome to print it at home as many times as you'd like for your own use.

Do you offer refunds?

Because this is an instant digital download delivered immediately after checkout, all digital guide purchases are final and non-refundable. Please read the full description above before buying. If you run into a technical problem opening or downloading your file, contact us and we'll help make it right.
