Gutek and the flock
Everyday coop life — lots of characters in one place.

A story from my own backyard
Hi,
I’m Łukasz.
4Kurki started at my own coop. Out of curiosity, everyday care and the need to keep it all a bit better organised.

It all started with Grandma Lusia
At first I just watched.
Then I got hooked myself.
I’ve kept hens for a few years. If it weren’t for Grandma Lusia, I probably never would have. At first I simply watched how she looked after them.
I started without much knowledge and without experience handed down through generations. I made mistakes, looked things up and learned from my own flock. Over time there were more hens, notes, costs, dates and eggs to count.
That need is exactly where 4Kurki came from. I built it for myself first. I wanted my records in one place and fewer things to keep in my head.
It has to be useful first.
Everything else is a bonus.
If a tool helps me at my own coop, it may help others too. Someone with four hens, someone with a bigger flock, or someone who is only just thinking about their first own eggs.
Real life, not stock footage
Everyday scenes like these are what 4Kurki grew out of.
Gutek, Napoleon, the chicks and the rest of the crew. That’s why, for me, what matters more than lots of features is whether something really helps with your own flock.
Napoleon
Every bird is a little different. And that’s the best part.
The chicks
Hatching, rearing, feeding and watching — there’s always something to note down.

The whole flock
Hens and rooster all together — curiosity comes first with them.
Hens and the dog
Everyone in the garden knows each other — even at the food bowl.
The rooster on patrol
A calm, confident stroll. It’s clear who keeps order here.

How I want 4Kurki to grow
Useful. Down to earth.
At its own pace.
Out of real need
Features should help with real flock care. You don’t have to use them all at once.
With clear numbers
The calculator shows the assumptions, the start-up cost and the eggs you’ll still need to buy. Even when the coop works out more expensive.
With a bit of joy
There’s room for care, curiosity and a nostalgic break with Retro. Hens can be a lot of fun.
A thank-you
If something here was useful
I build 4Kurki after hours and earn nothing from this website — there are no ads and no paid content. If the calculator or the app saved you some trouble, you can buy me a coffee. Nothing is expected: everything works the same with coffee and without it.
