(saw this piece on PIX11 News. Funny reminds me of when I was little in JC. Many people would get fresh eggs delivered to their doorstep from a NJ farm each week. At Easter time the farm would sale little live chicks. We would set up pens in our yards for them to run around. After about a week kids would get bored with them, and if they survived (sad) they would be returned to the farm. Sort of like a rental in disguise farmer probably knew they would be returned lol)

MORRIS COUNTY, N.J. (PIX11) – You might not ever figure out whether the chicken or the egg came first, but it doesn’t take a philosopher to see the price of eggs has flown the coop.
“Now with the price of eggs, having your own guaranteed eggs in your backyard is great,” said chicken farmer Marlena Schilke.
One solution people are turning to? Renting chickens.
Rent The Chicken is a nationwide company, with affiliates all over the United States and Canada.
(http://www.rentthechicken.com/)
Schilke is the Northern New Jersey affiliate.
It starts with a call to the company. From there, you get set up with your local affiliate. Packages with everything you need to care for the birds start around $600 for the season, which begins in April and goes through October.
