A

More and more Americans are showing an interest in organic and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.

Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in the back of their home in Maryland last October. "I have been wanting to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop and then look out where to buy chickens. And then we stumbled upon Rent a Coop."

Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner in May of 2012. "It comes with the mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water fowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. "

After the four weeks have passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.

Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops -- buildings where the birds are kept. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment. "We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids, number one. And I want the chickens to be comfortable. I want them to have access to the grass while being inside the coop. And I want it to be easily movable, light weight."

Mr. Phillips says the chicken coop rental business came from his love of animals. He grew up on his parents' farm, near Washington, DC.

The Horsts hope their farm teaches their daughter to be caring and responsible. "I don't think we've ever thanks where food comes from. But whenever we pick up the eggs we always say, 'thank you, ladies.' That's really something that is hard to teach other than having an animal in your backyard that delivers food to you. So it's been a great learning opportunity for my daughter, too." Says Naomi Hurst.
