Everyone gets it, eggs are expensive, but news came out today that they are likely to keep going up in price. So, what do you think about renting a chicken or two to produce eggs for you?
A company called Rent The Chicken offers delivery and setup of a coop on wheels, two or four young egg-laying hens, chicken feed, and food dishes for a five-to six-month rental period across the nation, including in Denver.
The standard rental package locally runs $545, and will produce 8-14 eggs per week.
Denver residents can legally keep up to eight chickens in their backyards with a food-producing animal permit, which costs $25 and lasts a lifetime at the registered address.
Rent The Chicken also offers services in the Boulder/Fort Collins area.
