Rent the Chicken is based in Freeport, Pennsylvania. It allows customers to try out having a chicken coop in their backyard without making a permanent commitment.
“We will bring a portable chicken coop to your backyard with two-to-four egg-laying hens for a six-month rental,” said Jenn Tompkins.
The rentals typically run from the spring to the fall. Depending on the customer’s specific order, the chickens could be laying up to two dozen eggs per week. More
When my kid was in grade school he raised 2 chicks for a school project. We kept the chickens for about 7 years. They would lay between 1 to 2 eggs a day, much more flavorful than store-bought. Some were orange and some were green, don’t know why. Maybe the farmers out there can explain.
Am thinking of getting chickens again.
Go Eagles.
Chicken trafficking.
I got three barely fucked chickens for sale..
“barely fucked”
Funniest thing All week!
For the love of sanity…
Rent?
How much can 1 chicken & a coop cost.
Heck, if you don’t want to keep it…
Oven at 350F for an hour.
Sadly, the price of eggs are up, the price of chicken meat is up, the price of chicken feed is up—
The worse possible scenario is the price of chicken shit is also up, meaning; the liberals continue to get richer.
Rich Taylor, different breeds. We had chickens for a long time and one breed we had was Araucana and they had green eggs; all of the others were brown egg layers. Buff Orpingtons, Polish(they laid missle-shaped eggs!😁), Japanese Silkies, Delawares(no relation to the dud in th WH), Barred Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Black Australorps. We had so many eggs!!
Anyone who thinks chickens are cheap to raise and low maintenence doesn’t know chickens.
They eat.
And they poop.
And you have to manage both ends.
…oh, and you can’t turn your chickens off to go on vacation.
You have to find a chicken sitter if you don’t want to come back to uncrispy chicken corpses.
Thanks, C.C., your explanation makes perfect sense. Stupid me, since they looked similar and we got them from the same farm I figured they were the same breed.
I knew once the kid named them, there was no getting rid of them.
…also, you have to make all the decisions for your chickens.
Let Heywood Banks explain further.

I wonder if they have problems with customers choking them?
Rich Taylor there are true Ameracauna chickens that lay a blue egg they developed them by crossing the Araucauna with other breeds. Araucaunas have the muff and beard, but are rumpless(no tail feathers), they got a chicken that would lay blue eggs, chickens still have muffs and beards. Now there is what is called an easter egger, although some still call it an Ameracauna that lays green eggs.
They’ve also now developed olive egg layers, they did this by crossing easter eggers with chickens that lay really dark brown eggs. These dark brown egg layers will sometimes pop out a purple egg.
We have all kinds of different breeds along with all kinds of cross breeds so it is truly like Easter eggs when we gather eggs, we have white, cream, tan, pink, light brown, medium brown, purple, dark brown, extra dark brown, robin blue, powder blue, blue-green, green and olive eggs. We have several hens that lay double yolk eggs.
Now they have these chickens that have black feathers and black skin. They’re kind of new on the chicken market and the newest I’ve seen is a laughing chicken. My husband really wants one of them, but I’m not paying $100 for a laughing rooster. lol
SNS,
Yes, the time is a bit of a thing.
Had Chickens.
Had Eggs.
Ate eggs.
Ate Chickens.
The chickens weren’t the problem. The Fuckin Raccons were.
1/2 hour of extra time at work/week = 2 chickens & 24 eggs even at Biden/Turdo prices. So I do the 1/2hr.
Cheers. Luv ya.
KCIR, in my neck of the woods a young hen is starting out at around $25. It wasn’t that many years ago when you could get hens all day long for $5. Those stupid little chicken coops/trailers are around $300 or they were, they may be more now. You could build one for about $50, but I haven’t priced cage wire or lumber in awhile so might not be able to now.
So I have no idea why someone would want to rent them, go to local farm store and buy you one of them, get on CL or go to a poultry swap and find you some hens(although fewer selling them these days) and if you don’t like them you can get your money back out of the hens if you’re too squeamish to butcher them and could probably almost get all of your money back on the coop/trailer.
Or you could just order you some chicks from a hatchery, for just the layer types though, even they cost a fortune anymore. I just looked on Ideal Poultry which in years past has been the cheapest and barred rock pullets for 1-14 are $4.26 each.
I would consider renting them chickens if I didn’t have to work 2 jobs. They wouldn’t last long here in the green mountains of Vermont with the foxes, fisher cats, raccoons, etc.
Fact is there was never a (recent) “avian flu” which supposedly had chickens killed. The malicious money-grubbing Biden government wasn’t able to cover any costs and ordered the chickens killed.
Anon, that is very true about the bird flu. I’ve heard that crap for years and they were destroying entire flocks over one dead bird that may or may not have had bird flu. Chickens are dumb animals and they’re also animals that will die from being egg bound and will die for no apparent reason sometimes.
This was manufactured bs.
