Love 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 delivery to Dallas, Texas. Areas within 50 miles of zip code 76049 include free delivery. Areas in Dallas may include transportation fees totalling $20-$300 depending on your location. The further away from zip code 76049, the higher the 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 Standard Coops are about 31" wide while our Deluxe Coops are about 57" wide. Both 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 31 or 57" wide, we'll need for you to commit a member of your household to help Homestead John lift the coop. If for one reason or another a member of your household is not available, either we can send a helper to lift the coop with Homestead John ($40) or 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.
