Update delivery is more reliable, with privacy-protected diagnostics for failed launches and updates that exclude account identity and free-form app content.
The farm share button opens a retro instant camera. Take a breakfast photo, watch the print develop, add a caption and send it to your hen. It appears on her page, can receive a reply in her own voice and carries into her evening chronicle. The camera stays at the top while its print develops below; the button shows today's polaroid and your breakfast count, and Anna introduces it. Android live preview requires the new native build; older builds use the phone camera fallback.
Clearer copy, consistent names and shared back controls make navigation easier. Outbound arrows identify external links, producer rows explain their output, cycle times use minutes, and long titles fit better.
Email setup accepts the newest six-digit verification code. Sign-in links return to the installed app from cold or warm startup; repeated links no longer start competing sign-in attempts.
Hen, badge and photo sharing opens the phone's own share sheet. Earned badges can be shared as previewable links or picture cards for square and story formats. Hen photos and diaries keep their sharing controls.
Your queen can leave the yard through her menu and explore the farm map and real coop. Tap or drag to guide her, scratch grass tufts to reveal finds and collect them in a journal. The real coop now renders its barn, hedges, path and ground instead of an empty field.
The egg loan has its own candlelit back room beside the Golden Basket. Review your balance, borrowing costs after 7, 14 and 28 days, the 28-day timeline and tiered interest before accepting; use the repay desk to return eggs and settle interest.
Each hen's moments combine your shared photos, new farm photos and videos, and the older farm gallery, newest first. Videos play inline. Tagged farm posts notify the current patrons by email and phone. Open moments from the hen's profile or another hen's name in a chronicle. Farm posts carry a farm mark and can be reported, while your own photos remain removable.
Meet fellow hen patrons and exchange private memories together. Collect hen cards, venue stamps and shared city eggs, with new illustrated keepsakes. Nearby encounters and shared AR hatching join the community beta when enabled for your test group.
Golden Baskets now cover seven bonus days, starting on the day you activate them. Egg history shows your daily base eggs and basket bonus separately. Borrowed eggs never receive a bonus.
Typing is visible again in every text field. The login email box accepted what you typed without ever showing the characters or the cursor, which turned signing in into guesswork.
Secure background updates now let fixes and improvements arrive faster between Store releases.
Photos became Media: your hen's pictures and the coop's published recordings now sit in one place, trail-camera clips included. Coop recordings are available to current and past supporters of the real hens.
When a hen's life comes to its natural end, her story now stays with you: a quiet farewell moment, her place in the Ancestor Hall, and her page preserved forever. She even keeps visiting your yard.
Updates now include privacy-protected delivery diagnostics, helping us detect failed launches and updates without attaching account identity or free-form app content.
This release also refreshes the signed native update components for more reliable delivery.

Further stability and delivery-pipeline improvements for the internal beta.
Clearer details: a hen you meet introduces herself once instead of twice, Settings opens from an unmistakable gear icon, and the weather panel states plainly that the readings come from the farm's own weather station.
A livelier hen: yours now breathes, glances around, shifts her weight and ruffles her wings while she waits, and every so often does something you have not seen before. Taps answer with soft hen chirps instead of the old plucked note.
Your week at a glance: a new weekly summary shows how many eggs your flock produced, how that compares with the week before, how each of your hens did, the latest events, and the anniversaries coming up.
What we are building: Settings has a new page listing the features on the way. They are plans in progress, not promises with dates.
Admins can now upload chicken photos from the gallery, selecting up to five at a time.
Your hen answers your touch: hold her on the home screen and she settles into a squat and fluffs up, then shakes it off when you let go.
Tap the Golden Grain counter to learn what it is: a short sheet explains the farm's rarest treasure and says plainly that there is nothing to spend it on yet.
Holding your finger down no longer pops up the system text magnifier over the hen and the rest of the app.
Photo viewer fixes: a large photo no longer pushes the next-photo arrow off the screen, and paging past the last photo now wraps around to the first.
Hen serials are back in the identity menu: every row now carries its serial as a field of its own beside the breed, so a long breed name no longer crowds it off the line, and the queen row shows her serial instead of repeating her title.
We removed an unused background audio path that could report an error on some devices. Sound behavior is otherwise unchanged.
A daily gift now waits on the left edge of the screen: open the app each day and collect 10 Golden Grain with a single tap. A missed day is gone for good, and the grain you gather redeems for the 2x or 3x weekly Golden Basket.
Daily gifts and account settings now recover reliably after brief connection or clock delays.
