News India Live, Digital Desk: Troubled by the rising prices of eggs, the people of America have now started renting chickens to meet the needs of their family. This trend is becoming increasingly popular in America, which is named ‘Rent-A-Hen’. In fact, due to the bird flu, the death of millions of chickens has reduced the supply of eggs, causing the price of eggs to increase by 60% in March 2025 as compared to last year. Now the price of a dozen eggs has been around $ 10, which is three times more than the normal price.
What is ‘Rent-Hain’ service?
‘Rent-Hain’ is a service in which people can rent chickens. This service was started by a farmer couple in Pennsylvania about 10 years ago under the name ‘Rent the Chicken’. It is now available in more than 40 cities across North America. The demand for this service has increased considerably due to the Kovid-19 epidemic and currently running bird flu.
How does this service work?
In this service, tenants get chickens, their food, water vessel, and a small house with wheels. Its fare for six months ranges from 500 to 1000 dollars, depending on the number and number of chickens. People taking chickens on rent can easily use them and shift them from one place to another as per the need.
Why is this method becoming popular?
People are using this service to get fresh eggs and connect the family to nature. However, according to experts, this method is not always cheap. Usually it costs around $ 300 to buy eggs for one year from the supermarket, while chickens can cost expensive. Nevertheless, it has become a fun and convenient option for people.
