Additional Notes

Possible Transportation Fees

Our Rental Packages include DELIVERY to Long Island, New York. Homestead Ida is traveling from Northford, CT to provide Hatch The Chicken to Long Island. If you live outside of the 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.

Possible additional fees

Due to the increase of feed cost, tolls, ferries, and fuel cost, closer to delivery, there may be a surcharge for one or more of these items.

Northford, Connecticut- Homestead Ida & Farmer Joe have been farming this Connecticut land for four generations. Today, along with their family, they bring Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken throughout Connecticut, Westchester County, Manhattan, and Long Island, New York. Their mission has always been the same: connect families to where their food comes from and make it joyful. In 2016, they were honored as National Outstanding Young Farmers of the Year - and they're still just as excited about a hatching egg as they were on day one. Come experience the farm. The chickens can't wait to meet you. Truly an eggs-traordinary journey!
