Ready For Some Farm Fresh Eggs?

from Your Lot and Parcel · host Benjamin Diaz/Jenn Tompkins, Founder of Rent the Chicken

Thought of Raising Backyard Chickens? Every Spring, thousands of chickens are sold at local farm supply stores. Often these chickens die before they are ready to start laying eggs (16-30 weeks). Children quickly realize that chicks are not as fun as the Xbox and parents find out that chickens cannot be house broken! The costs quickly start increasing, then chickens are "sent to the farm". Other people think about chickens but think they do not have the space, worry about regulations, or just do not know what they need. Do you build or buy a coop? Do you buy peeps? How do you raise an egg laying hen if you buy a peep? Did someone tell you about a heat lamp? It can all be overwhelming and they take the guess work out of all the questions by offering a portable coop, the food & supplies, and the egg laying hens!Why "Rent the Chicken"? They provide all the supplies you need to get started: portable chicken coop, two to four egg laying hens, 100-200 pounds of feed (optional non-GMO or Organic feed available), food & water dishes, a chicken keeping book as well as instructions on how to keep your chickens happy! Within two days of the arrival, your chickens will lay eggs ready to use! These eggs have one-third less cholesterol, one-fourth less saturated fats, and two times more omega three fatty acids than store bought eggs. Your Rent the Chickens should lay about a dozen to two dozen eggs per week depending on your Rental Package. You will know exactly what your chickens eat! https://www.rentthechicken.com/http://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
