Rent The Chicken is a part of an eggs-citing new industry that rents backyard chickens! The company provides full support for the term of your rental – usually 6 months. They deliver the chickens to your house, bring a coop for your backyard, supply the chicken feed and other yummy things chickens eat (hint: mealworms) and when you decide you’ve had enough (or if you chicken out at any time) simply give them a call and they come pick everything up! The Pittsburgh-based company was started in 2013 and has grown to over 40 affiliates around the country. Meet Philadelphia-area ‘homesteader’ Chris Witmer and one of his customer families as they eggs-plain how it all works!
