Heeding calls for organic food or just wanting to do something unusual, the people of Chicago rent laying hens for the summer.

The local queen of chickens, Kelly Burke, helps them with rent. Urban Chicken Rentals rents layers for 11 families in the city, writes Chicago tribune.

According to her, the number of people willing to get chickens for the summer has been growing every year since the moment when she founded the public in 2014.

Another national provider of rental chickens reported six families renting chickens in Chicago.

“I just wanted to know if I could handle chickens, but I’m not ready to devote myself completely to this activity. We live in a city with small children. I love animals, but I wasn’t ready to become a 100% chicken owner and devote all my time to them,” said Kaelin Peterson, a mother of three from Chicago who rented three chickens.

The offer to rent chickens has found a response among Americans who are looking for a way to save money, and therefore prefer renting to buying, moreover, in the US, the use of what has been grown or made in their own economy is becoming more and more popular.

Renting chickens costs about 110 dollars per month, and usually includes two or three layers, feed, dishes, all the necessary supplies for the chickens, as well as email or phone support.

Husband Kelin Peterson estimates that one egg costs the family approximately 1 dollars, but in addition to this, they get entertainment from the hens in their yard and the scent of fresh eggs.

“For me it’s a more natural way of life. I love fresh herbs. I love fresh tomatoes. With eggs, I think there is also a difference in taste compared to store-bought ones,” the woman explained.

In case the chickens are hit by a fox or raccoon attack, the lessors offer free replacement birds.

Many tenants say that in addition to eggs, they also enjoy watching chickens.

The only drawback, according to tenants, is that chickens produce a lot of litter, so you need to prepare for them a special place, as well as tools for cleaning them and means that will help hide the unpleasant smell.
