Do you see your friends post about their chickens and have FOMO (fear of missing out)? Or do you have more chickens then you know what to do with, but could never imagine getting rid of one? We found an egg-cellent opportunity for you! You can now partake in Rent The Chicken.
Starting in April, customers in Hartford, the Shoreline Area, and beyond can have “farm fresh” eggs in their backyard with Rent The Chicken. Each rental includes everything needed: a portable coop, at least two egg-laying hens, feed for the rental season, and phone and web chat support. Reservations are currently being accepted.
Farmer Joe’s Gardens, LLC has expanded its offering to include Rent The Chicken which offers free delivery to most of Connecticut and anywhere within 50 miles of Wallingford, CT.
