Albion, Pennsylvania - Homestead Isaac & Michelle are providing Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken to the western corner of Pennsylvania. They are the 4th generation to live on the family homestead “Mutton but Beef Farms” where they raise beef cows, sheep, a handful of goats, and of course, chickens. They are passionate about educating people on how important farmers are to their daily lives, and are excited to share the experience of raising animals with others through Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken. When they aren’t working on their farm they stay busy with their 4 children and volunteering with their local Agricultural fair, The Albion Area Fair.

What happens to the chicks?

Here are a number of scenarios as to what happens to the baby chicks after our Hatch The Chicken program is complete:

The girls are raised to be hens for Rent The Chicken
The girls are raised as breeding stock for Hatch The Chicken
The boys are raised to be roosters to fertilize eggs for Hatch The Chicken
The girls are raised to lay eggs for our families
The boys are raised to protect our flocks to help keep them safe
The chicks are sold to families looking to expand their flocks
The roosters are sold to families looking to protect their flock

We can't confirm what other organizations do with their baby chicks after a hatching program but we know with our whole hearts that all of the chicks hatched with our Hatch The Chicken program provide a purpose following the rental. We value their lives and value what they bring to our business and those who participate in our programs.
