Love The Discount?
Share the joy of fresh eggs with your friends! For every friend you refer who Rents The Chicken, you’ll earn a $50 credit toward your own rental or adoption. (Credits apply to one Rental Season at a time and aren’t redeemable for cash.)
Possible Transportation Fees
Our Rental Packages include FREE DELIVERY within 50 miles of Wallingford, Connecticut. If you live further than 50 miles of Wallingford, CT 06492, you may incur a predetermined yearly transportation fee. For our renters in Westchester County, the transportation fees typically range from $140-$240 total for delivery and pickup. For customers outside of our FREE DELIVERY area, please call us toll-free 844-310-8782 for a delivery quote.
Additional Notes
We provide enough nesting material to get your rental started. What you use after that is up to you—some families prefer pine shavings, while others use grass clippings or materials that fit best with their composting routine. If you’d like the ease of having pine shavings on hand for the whole rental period, you can add a bag to your rental for just $12.
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.
Give a hand and save
Our coops are about 42" wide and easily roll from on our trailer to most backyards. If your property requires the coop to be lifted over a wall or fence due to your gate being less than 42" wide, we'll need for you to commit a member of your household to help Homestead Ida lift the coop. If for one reason or another a member of your household is not available, a predetermined fee of $40 will be included for both delivery and pick-up and we will make arrangements for Homestead Ida to bring a helper! We also have a limited number of coops that are 30" wide and can be partially assembled on site or fully assembled on site. This must be arranged in advance. Assembly fees are determined at reservation and additional fees may be assessed.
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!
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.
