Mother Hen™ is the only system that replaces your door, monitors every entry, and uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver alerts to you and your Eggs — anywhere on Earth — with zero silent failures.
Unique Origin: Born after a real predator attack wiped out a friend’s flock in Tennessee. Not designed in a lab — designed to prevent the next tragedy.
Unique Proof: Right now, test Eggs in England, Belgium, and Israel receive live alerts from a coop in Tennessee. You get the same — whether you’re in Tokyo, Toronto, or Timbuktu.
Unique Guarantee: If Wi-Fi dies, power flickers, or a raccoon jams the door — you will know. Local light. The Egg. SMS. No exceptions.
Unique Architecture: Amazon Web Services (AWS) does the thinking (sunrise math, alert logic, data trends). Hardware just listens and shouts. Smart where it matters. Simple where it counts.
“My Egg is in London. My coop is in Tennessee. At 3 AM, I got the squawk and the text. Fixed it from 4,000 miles away.”
That’s what makes Mother Hen™ different.
