Chicken Rental Services That Deliver More Than Just Eggs

Fresh, backyard eggs aren’t just for folks with sprawling farms. At Rent My Hens, we’ve made it downright simple for families, schools, and community groups to enjoy the fun and benefits of backyard chickens without long-term hassle.

Our chicken rental services put happy, healthy hens in your yard with zero guesswork, maintenance headaches, or upfront coop investments. You get fresh eggs daily, memorable experiences for your kids, and a coop that fits neatly in your backyard — all without needing a degree in poultry care.

This isn’t your average “rent-a-hen” gig. We run a reliable, old-school service where you know who’s bringing your birds and how they’re treated. Let’s dive into what we offer.

  • Feed and bedding for the rental term

Fallen in love with your hens during the rental? Happens all the time. We offer an easy adoption service for families ready to make things official.

  • Keep your hens, and we’ll sell you the coop at a reduced price
  • Continued feed delivery available
  • Optional seasonal health checks

Why It Helps:
Takes the pressure off when you realize you’re not ready to part with those daily egg-layers or your kid’s new best friends.

  • We rented hens for our elementary school’s spring project and it was a huge hit! The kids tracked egg production, helped with care, and learned where their food comes from. Everything was handled for us — setup, pickup, and even a live Q&A session with their chicken expert.”
