Want farm fresh eggs without the full-time commitment of a coop? A new chicken-renting website may be your answer.
RentTheChicken.com, launched by husband and wife duo Jenn and Phil Tompkins, from Freeport, Pennsylvania, will deliver two egg-laying hens, a portable coop, food and instructions on how to take care of the animals.
