  • Egg customers concerned about empty shelves and rising prices at the supermarket can try their hand at getting eggs out of their own backyard with Rent a Chicken.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing egg shortage and high prices that have led some consumers to consider alternative solutions. In response to these issues, a company called Rent The Chicken has seen a surge in interest. This service allows customers to rent chickens for a season, providing them with fresh eggs daily. The rental package includes a portable coop, feed, and instructions on how to care for the chickens. This initiative not only helps people bypass the high egg prices but also introduces them to the idea of backyard poultry farming. Rent The Chicken's founder, Phil Tompkins, noted that while the initial cost might seem high, the long-term savings on egg purchases and the educational aspect of raising chickens make it an appealing option for many families.
