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 Lansing, Flint, much of Mid-Michigan and within 50 miles of Haslett, MI 48840. If you live outside of the the free delivery parameters, you may incur a predetermined transportation fee. For customers outside of our FREE DELIVERY area, please call us toll-free at 844-310-8782 for a delivery quote.

Additional Notes:
Our coops range from 31" - 57" 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 required, we'll need for you to commit a member of your household to help Homestead Heather & Mike lift the coop. If for one reason or another the coop cannot be lifted, some of our coops can be delivered un-assembled ($60) or partially assembled ($40). The predetermined fee is for both delivery and pick-up.

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.

Haslett, Michigan - Homestead Heather & Mike with their sons Garrett & Hayden provide Rent The Chicken to Ann Arbor, Detroit Metro, Grand Rapids, Lansing and, Mid-Michigan. They also provide Hatch The Chicken to Ann Arbor, Detroit Metro, Grand Rapids, Lansing and, Mid-Michigan. Mike is a GM electrician out of Flint, MI. He keeps the farm and chickens in “lights and gadgets”. Heather works as Financial Secretary for a local Union and she maintains the records for the farm. Hayden (13 years) is the woodworker and chicken social activity caretaker. Garrett (14 years) is the marketing guy and baby chick care taker. The family works together making coops and deliveries. When a friend suggested joining the Rent The Chicken family, Heather pitched the idea to Mike. He said “Babe, you got to do this, you're already halfway there!” Being a chicken lover her whole life, Heather feels at home with the flock and helping new families and children fall in love with chickens. Mike is learning to “wing it” teaching children about the Hatch The Chicken program and building coops for new customers. Their farm “Woods to Lake Rentals” is home to dogs, cats, ducks, turkeys and of course chickens! They are very Egg-cited to welcome everyone to the Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken family!

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.
