"I figured this was a good opportunity for people to try it out. If they like it, having hens and stuff, can set up the stuff and they can start their own set up later," Strother said.
Strother will personally deliver a chicken coop and two egg-laying hens anywhere in the Bay Area.
There are some pre-screening questions to make sure you and your rent-a-hens are a good fit.

"I thought what a better way to have fresh eggs everyday," said Kelly Cytron from San Francisco.
Cytron rented her coop and hens two months ago.
"They have character and personality, super smart -- they escaped from the yard into the neighbors yard," she said.
The hens are available for one to three month rentals, prices range from $175 to $475. The hens are also available for purchase.
