One Colorado Farm Gives Your the Chance to Rent a Chick

Any pet is a big commitment. You have to feed, house, and care for them as their life is in your hands. At one point, we've all thought about having chickens as pets or at the very least animals on your property that produce eggs. I know I have had this thought run through my mind at least once a year.

At this point in my life, having a dog is a lot of time and effort. I can only imagine what it would be like to own a couple of chickens. Some might say it is easy while others may say it is too time-consuming. How do you really know for sure until you have done it?

There is one way to find out if owning chickens is really for you and that is by renting a chick. One farm in Colorado does just that with its 'rent a chick' program. The program from this Colorado farm could be perfect for families, classrooms, or anyone curious as to what it would be like to own a chicken.

Sher Farms in Parker, Colorado offers this program as an all-in-one kit. What is the catch? Well, you won't be getting a chick to take home at first as this program starts the rental cycle off with unhatched eggs. It is up to you to do the rest.

Sher Farms Rent-a-Chick Program

The first step is to get your kit that comes with an incubator, a cage for the chicks, and a supply of food. After you set up the kit, your new bundles of chicken joy should hatch in approximately 21 days. When the eggs hatch, the real fun begins. This is where you will learn about your chicks and their needs.

Two weeks after hatching, you can return the chicks to Sher Farms where they will join the rest of the flock on the farm. To learn more about the rent-a-chick program, visit sher-farms.com.
