Phone rings, “Rent the Chicken, this is Jenn.”
“I would like to rent the chicken.” The caller says in between giggles.
In Mount Holly, New Jersey, this is a reality. People want fresh eggs but don’t want the responsibly of raising chickens. Some people rent the chickens as an educational experience for the children.
For $150 a month you can get two hens, a coop and feed. If it doesn’t work out you can return the chickens and coop or if it works out you can adopt the hens.
The site, backyardchickens.com gets about 7,000 daily posts from chicken enthusiasts.
