Indiana Grown: Chicken rentals from Farmer Brad LLC
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each and every Saturday, WISH-TV highlights a local company together with our partners at Indiana Grown.
This week, Bradley Wood, owner of Farmer Brad LLC, and his chicken, Junie, join News 8 at Daybreak.
Wood first shares with News 8 one of his farm’s specialties – a chicken rental package.
“It’s a great way for families to see whether or not taking care of backyard chickens is a good fit for their family,” Wood said. “So, I provide the coop, the chickens, the hens, the feed, the water, and give them a buyout option after nine months of rental.”
Wood also explains where he first thought about chicken rentals, the idea stemming from an organization called Rent a Chicken. “The organization was (national), and I was the central and southern Indiana provider for that,” he said.
Wood adds that the chicken coops are mobile and can be easily moved around backyards. “If it’s not a good fit, you call me up, (and) two weeks later, I take everything away and you don’t have to worry about rehoming chickens,” Wood said.
He also shares with News 8 more information on chicken rentals, shows off his automatic chicken waterer, and gives a few tips on what those interested in renting chickens should be aware of.
