Phil Tompkins

Phil Tompkins is a co-founder of 'Rent The Chicken,' a service that allows people to rent chickens for egg production. Established over a decade ago in Pennsylvania, the initiative has gained significant popularity, particularly in recent years, as rising egg prices and supply issues, such as avian flu outbreaks, have prompted more individuals to consider alternative ways to obtain fresh eggs. The service not only provides chickens but also includes necessary supplies and a mobile coop, making it easier for urban dwellers to enjoy the benefits of backyard poultry without the long-term commitment.
