Overview
A cron service with timezone support, retries, and alerts. Never over-boils a job, and never undercooks one either.
EggTimer is part of our Coop Operations line, and it plays nicely with ClutchCI and Molt, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Ship, monitor, and roll back with the discipline of a farmer who wakes before dawn.
Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.
Key features
- Cost reports break down spend per hen, per coop, and per egg.
- Integrates with Slack, Teams, and the Gaggle messaging line.
- Dry-run mode that shows exactly what would happen without so much as ruffling a feather.
- Post-incident reviews are blameless, because nobody blames a chicken for being afraid of a fox.
- Automatic rollback when error rates climb faster than a hen up a ramp.

What the flock says
Rolled it out to 800 hens without a single feather out of place.
Four stars because I like to leave room for improvement, and for another snack.
Honestly better than the previous coop. Support answered within a cluck.
Frequently asked questions
Does EggTimer work with the rest of the Pollosoft flock?
Absolutely. Everything shares one identity (Cage-Free SSO), one billing account (BillOfLaying), and one deeply optimistic status page.
Where is my data stored?
In the coop you pick at sign-up. Data never leaves that region unless you tell it to. Chickens like to know where they live.
How often is EggTimer updated?
Every two weeks, on a Tuesday, shortly after the rooster crows. Release notes live in the changelog.
