Additional Notes

Possible Transportation Fees

Our Rental Packages include DELIVERY to Westchester County, New York. Homestead Ida is traveling from Wallingford, CT to provide Hatch The Chicken to Westchester County and beyond. 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 and fuel cost, closer to delivery, there may be a slight surcharge for one or both of these items.

Renting Multiple Incubator Setups & Parking: If you’d like to rent more than one incubator setup on the same delivery date at the same location, each additional setup is $225. Please contact us to coordinate delivery. Renters are responsible for providing parking that can accommodate a full-size pickup truck.

Wallingford, Connecticut- Homestead Ida & Farmer Joe, along with their family, bring Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken throughout Connecticut, Westchester County, Manhattan, and Long Island, New York. As fourth-generation farmers, they’ve spent decades sharing farm-fresh goodness through their farm stand, Farmer Joe's Gardens. Their mission goes beyond growing food—they’re passionate about inspiring a yard-to-table lifestyle full of health, flavor, and community spirit. In 2016, they were honored as National Outstanding Young Farmers of the Year, and today they’re thrilled to share their love of farming in a whole new way through Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken! Truly an eggs-traordinary journey!
