    $500 for two chickens??? Those must be prize laying hens.
    Will this fee include food and some sort of shelter for
    these chickens??

    Always someone looking to take advantage of others. But if someone goes for it, who is really to blame?

    Well, at least you'd be getting something besides two
    hens, but still seems awfully steep to me.

    My yard is not fenced so no telling where those hens
    would wander to plus the danger of dogs or owls killing
    those birds. Kroger supplies my egg needs.

    There's a coop included.


    But it's small, really, really small.

    I have seen quite large chicken coops that are on wheels
    and very easy to move around.

    I don't need no stinkin' 500 dollar chickens. I got all the eggs I can
    forage and more importantly, chickens keep the place bug free. To keep
    the chickens off my walkway, I just let the cat out for a while. The cat
    and the chickens have an understanding. The chickens don't go on the
    walkway and the cat won't hassle them too much.

    Some people will be stupid enough to fall for it without giving the >>>>>> expense any thought.

    2 chickens for 500USD is ridiculous. We paid around 15USD for
    vaccinated chickens that were about to start laying. This is 8 years >>>>> ago or so.

    You can buy chickens pretty cheaply here. One listing cites
    $30 for 18-week-old layers and $16 for one-year-olds. (That
    doesn't make sense to me, but I don't know doodley about chickens.)

    In a couple of months, I'll be able to go to the Tractor Supply
    store and buy chicks. If I wanted to, which I don't. I'm quite
    satisfied to pay $5.50 for a dozen eggs and not have to deal with
    things that crap.

    City people.

    I don't have dogs or cats, either, which many city people like.

    Ok, so it's more than just the chickens. But the whole idea of renting
    a chicken is weird to me. It's all very wanky.

    I think it's for people who don't want to think about what happens
    to layers when they reach the end of their productive years.

    Mmmm. Chicken. I'm glad there are folks who like boneless skinless
    chicken breast. See why? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KwFdhpXfGofMAtxKzCVmyxYjhKxGU7bJ/view?usp=drive_link

    Chickarones.

    My guess is those chickens might not be so tender and tasty after
    squeezing out all those eggs. They'd probably be okay for Banquet
    Chicken Pot Pies though. The farmer should offer an amnesty program for
    the chickens. At the end of 6 months, you can purchase the chickens
    outright for about 100 bucks. The sales pitch could be "Buy these
    chickens or we'll kill them!"

    I got some eggs at Costco the other day it was less than $7/18. It's
    pretty much the best deal I'm going to find around here.

    Don't forget! They are kind enough to leave the eggs on your car, in
    order
    for you not to strain your back when picking them up! =D

    Hawaiian chickens have much aloha for the peoples of Hawaii.

    Did the rednecks realise they were electing Elon Musk at the same time

    Obviously not, rednecks don't usually care for Africans.
