It's a story we first brought you last summer but inflation has ruffled some feathers, prompting new interest.

"We've had a lot of demand for the hens, booking a lot of rentals in the last couple of weeks," Strother said.Rentbackyardhens.com"I think it's getting people to think they can be more self-sufficient looking at their backyards differently, where they had lawns, they're thinking maybe I could put a chicken coop back there," he said.

Strother says all prospective renters are prescreened. If it's a good fit, he'll deliver two egg laying hens, a coop and organic feed anywhere in the Bay Area. Rental prices range from $175 to $475 dollars, depending how long you want to rent. Eric gives personal instruction on caring for the hens. There's so much interest, he plans to build more coops soon.
