Agua Dulce, California - Homestead Victoria serves the Greater Los Angeles Area with Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken from her farm, Lively Little Farm. Lively Little Farm’s mission is to connect people with their food, their community, and the land we share by bringing small-scale agriculture into homes and neighborhoods. Homestead Victoria started with a small flock of three hens in her suburban backyard in Redwood City, CA, but soon her farm dreams and her family outgrew the space. In 2022 she and her family purchased a small, 2.5 acre, farm in Agua Dulce, a small town in northern Los Angeles County. Later that year, Lively Little Farm became an affiliate of Rent The Chicken and Hatch The Chicken. Homestead Victoria looks forward to supporting customers with her firsthand experience keeping backyard chickens and sharing the joy they bring.

What happens to the chicks?

Here are a number of scenarios as to what happens to the baby chicks after our Hatch The Chicken program is complete:

The girls are raised to be hens for Rent The Chicken
The girls are raised as breeding stock for Hatch The Chicken
The boys are raised to be roosters to fertilize eggs for Hatch The Chicken
The girls are raised to lay eggs for our families
The boys are raised to protect our flocks to help keep them safe
The chicks are sold to families looking to expand their flocks
The roosters are sold to families looking to protect their flock

We can't confirm what other organizations do with their baby chicks after a hatching program but we know with our whole hearts that all of the chicks hatched with our Hatch The Chicken program provide a purpose following the rental. We value their lives and value what they bring to our business and those who participate in our programs.
