Rising egg prices in the US spark chicken rental trend

With egg prices soaring in the US, Christine and Brian Templeton of Rent The Chicken in Goffstown, New Hampshire, offer a unique solution—chicken rentals.

Their service provides hens, feed, and support for six months, allowing customers to collect fresh eggs at home. For about $600 (£476.88), two hens can produce a dozen eggs per week.

Many renters grow attached to their chickens and choose to keep them. As egg shortages continue, the Templetons’ business is gaining popularity as a sustainable and affordable alternative.
