Want The Discount?
We will credit $50 off of your Rent The Chicken or adoption for every friend referred who Rents The Chicken. Credits can never be refunded as cash and can never be used for more than one Rental Season at a time.
Possible Transportation Fees
Our Rental Packages include FREE DELIVERY to the Greater Philadelphia Area. If you live outside the Greater Philadelphia Area, you may incur a predetermined yearly transportation fee. For customers outside of our FREE DELIVERY area, please call us toll-free at 844-310-8782 for a delivery quote. Rentals to the Greater Philadelphia Area are being delivered from Liverpool, PA. Rentals will be grouped then delivered and picked up together. If an early pick-up is needed, a predetermined fee will be charged. This helps keeps the rental prices lower depending on combined trips. Due to the distance, if a rental chicken is not healthy or worse during the rental, they can meet with a replacement chicken within 50 miles of their location without a transportation fee. If you prefer for them to bring a replacement chicken, a transportation fee will be determined.
Additional Notes
Possible additional fees: Due to the increase of feed cost and fuel cost, closer to delivery, there may be a slight surcharge for one or both of these items.
Nesting box bedding: To avoid finding bedding for nesting materials throughout the rental period, a bag of pine shavings can be purchased with the rental for $10.
Homestead Chris with his family serve Central Pennsylvania and the Greater Philadelphia Area from their 18 acre Pollyanna Farms in Liverpool, PA. Pollyanna Farms' name rights come from a dance hall that was used during prohibition. Their household includes three children, Chris' mom, and a pile of pups round out the farm crew! Homestead Chris was injured in a work related accident in 2017. To God be the glory that he's made quite the recovery! Their chickens are provided with fresh pasture every morning to give a variety of vegetation and insects. Their donkeys provide protection to the flock. All of their animals are out in the sunshine all day with opportunities to go under shelter as needed. Since joining the Rent The Chicken family in the Spring of 2015, they have had a fun time sharing the joys of raising chickens with family and individuals that would not have this opportunity other wise. Over the Summer of 2015, they also provided two hens on Broadway with Penn and Teller!
At Rent The Chicken, our mission is to help families and communities reconnect with their food through the experience of backyard chickens. Across our network of homesteads and partner farms, we’re proud to offer Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken programs that make keeping chickens fun, educational, and accessible. Each of our team members brings a passion for sustainability, hands-on learning, and sharing the joy that comes from fresh eggs and happy hens.
