Chicken Road

Chicken Road is an offline guide that lets you identify deciduous trees and shrubs in winter by matching the appearance of a twig. The app shows a row of drawings of 31 common British species, each scaled to a common ruler. By tapping the twig that resembles the one in your hand, you can view its details: whether the buds sit in pairs, singly, or crowded; if thorns are present; and the colour and length of the buds. The app then displays the Latin name of the tree, a true‑size drawing next to a millimetre ruler, and the key feature you need to confirm before naming it. The drawings are all drawn to the same scale, so you can compare species side by side. Bud positions are grouped, making it easier to narrow down the possibilities. The app also shows a close‑up of a similar species, highlighting the one difference that helps you avoid confusion. This visual approach replaces long text descriptions with an intuitive pictorial key. You can add a tree to your personal list by marking the spot and the group that found it. The list is saved locally on your device and can be exported as plain text for sharing with classmates or a landowner. The app contains all content, so it works completely offline.
