I was chatting with a former renter, Lindsay, and now great friend and it was suggested for me to talk about the "Oldies but Goodies" in regards to hens! This particular friend rented from us in our first full season in 2014 with her assigned "Steeler Chickens" of a Black Australorp and a Buff Orpington named Maty & Iris. Maty passed away last summer and Iris is plugging along as an only although she sometimes sneaks into the house to hang with the fam!
Lindsay is not the only one who converted to being a long-term chicken keeper of our first season of chicken rentals! After looking through our very first list of renters, at least half of them are long-term chicken keepers! These folks participated in Rent The Chicken and still have chickens to this day! Some took a break after the rental. Some let us winter their hens and adopted in the spring. Others took the plunge and adopted at the end of their first rental. They all earned an education through our service and made great educated decisions on their long-term chicken keeping goals because of it. Here are some throw backs of our Happy Renters of 2014!
A big thank you to all who have trusted us to guide you through the first steps of backyard chicken keeping!
