Want to take a peck at keeping chickens- but feeling shell-shocked by the details? Maria Jansen and her clan have EGGSactly the perfect option for you!
The Easy Chicken, a
family-owned enterprise, will help you launch a Chicken Adventure,
worry-free, by leasing everything you need: Coop, Hens, feeding and
watering gear, even a starter sack of super-healthy Chicken
Feed. You get to try what may be THE most popular Green home-hobby
for up to six months - with expert support from the Jansens,
grown-ups and boys.
If it works out, GREAT - rental can apply to owning your
chicken-keeping kit. If not, you can return your flock for others
to experience. Voila! EASY, ethical,
healthy, nutritious, bug-eating FUN.
Other options - as you'll hear from Maria, 8-year-old Gabriel, and
Zebra the Barred Rock hen - include Baby Chicks for classrooms,
visiting their farm to take that first peek at potential
peeper-keeping, buying the whole setup you'll need outright, even
Chicken Parties.
Maria's new sustainable venture, Jansen Sharpening, can get your good knives tuned up too, but maybe don't tell the hens . . .
