Rent a Chicken & Bring Fresh Eggs to Your Backyard
There’s something special about gathering warm, fresh eggs from your own backyard. But let’s be honest — diving headfirst into chicken ownership can be messy, expensive, and overwhelming if you’re not prepared for the commitment. That’s where Rent My Hens steps in. When you rent a chicken, you skip the hard part and get straight to the good stuff: daily farm-fresh eggs and the joy of backyard chickens without a long-term burden.
We’ve built our service around folks who love the idea of chickens clucking around their yard but aren’t sure if they’re ready for a full-time flock. And we don’t just hand you a bird and leave you hanging — we deliver everything you need, set it up, and make sure you’re clucking happy.
