Huh.. Thats crazy. I
I do know I could probably certify as organic with my garden I have about 80 chickens that are free range.
I actually rotate the others on my garden spots to eat weed seeds and to fertilize the spots naturally.
I had pumpkins everywhere last year on one place I had some penned up for 3 months . its about a 25 by 60 ft patch.
I put some out a patch about 2 weeks ago to fertilize it for me.
Its not too hot once you till it in.
Its hardtop believe people rent em I guess because its not something id do...
I do know if you have enough of them free range you don't have to mow or weedeat much
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

What about the "free" fertilizer thatcomes with the gig? Anyone bought fertilizer lately? And no extra applicator fees! I've heard of goats for clearing land or weed control. A portable electric fence to keep the goats in and the neighbors out. Scott, I can see some issues with renting out your bull. Even if it's real tame I can see some neighbor kids testing him.

This is almost as dumb as the rent to own tire place I saw when I was in San Antonio

Wonder what happens when something kills your rental chickens ? Most company's have a lost rental clause.

No it's pretty good deal from both sides. IF you just want the fertilizer you rent them for certain amount of time. Then they come get them. The cost of the coop and birds . When done off they go. The portable coops are pretty neat. On a wagon , they roll up, drop the plank to the entry and chicken s come and go as they need. This is my set up. Built on a 16" car trailer not fit for the road but great on the farm. I circle it with my electric net goat fence and it keeps the coons, fox and coyotes away. Between the goats and 60is chickens they eat an area down and fertilization is great. Then I move them to a new spot and repeat. I have more layers than I need currently. I would love to rent some out. Heck 3 or 4 chicken rentals would make a nice profit to pay the property taxes with.

My Mom gets plenty of chickens for free off of Craigslist. Some for laying, some for meat. Always rich yuppies who move to the country and try farming. It usually lasts only a few months before they give the livestock away or sale it for a song.

Yep yuppies moving to the country , got to have organic eggs . I do wonder if there could be a rent a rooster type of deal . Many towns and cities allow chickens , but not roosters . THE CROWING is why . Say they have 6 or so hens , bring your rooster , or take the hens to the rooster .
After roosters mate with hens, the hen stores sperm in the sperm host glands. The sperm can live here for two weeks, so no worries if your rooster has a large flock to attend to. She’ll lay fertile eggs for a while after he’s gone!
So city people can raise chicks , to keep a healthy flock , producing the eggs they want . Don't know but it's something to think about . Stud services ?

I've been asked to rent a pig out more than once for kid's birthdays parties. Even had a radio station that wanted to borrow a turkey for some on location broadcast they were doing.

My guy has enough chickens to produce 60 dozen eggs a week and he sells them to a local resort for $4 a dozen . He said I could borrow some for free but I didn't feel right about that
