How about some fresh eggs every day?

In more and more areas, urban farms are popping up and many small farmers are no longer only wanting to grow plants on their farm, but also now starting to have traditional farm animals.

Some of the larger animals like to goats or pigs are a bit harder to keep in a small urban backyard, so many of the urban gardeners have started to raise chickens. Before you start buying chickens, and let them loose in your backyard, make certain that you check with your local municipality to make sure you can keep traditional farm animals in your backyard. Many of the towns have ordinances that do not allow farm animals within their town limits.

When you are not certain if raising chickens is for you, think about renting chickens for one season? Yes, renting chickens.

A local Indiana homegrown business owned by Christina Fletcher called “The Fresh Egg” will schedule a date to bring to your home a mobile coop with two hens that are already laying eggs. She will also provide the supplies needed to get you started. At the end of the lease they will schedule a date to pick up the rented chickens, coop, and supplies. When you would like to have chickens again next season, just let them know.

When you have any question about renting chickens just contact Christina through her website http://thefreshegg.com/
