也許下一波缺蛋潮、蛋價波動、甚至有禽流感時，有間公司已經明白你想要什麼囉❤️

Due to the spread（蔓延） of a highly contagious（具傳染性的） strain of bird flu（禽流感）, or avian influenza（禽流感）, there’s a tight supply（供應短缺） of eggs in stores across the US. True to its DIY spirit（自己動手的精神）, many people have turned to（求助於） raising their own egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞） in their own backyard for solution（解決方案）. As a result（結果）, a company called Rent the Chicken is experiencing a never-seen-before（前所未有的） demand（需求） for their products（產品）—mainly egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞）.

For the price（價格） of around $850, you get to rent（租用） two egg-laying hens（產蛋母雞） for six months, which will give you 8-14 eggs per week（每週8到14顆蛋）. The company will also provide（提供） you with a standard（標準的） chicken coop（雞舍）, 100 pounds（100磅） of chicken feed（雞飼料）, and a quick guide（快速指南） for taking care of（照顧） your chickens（雞隻）.

If you can afford to splurge（負擔得起揮霍）, there’s also the deluxe rental package（豪華租賃方案） that can go up to $1500, and with that price tag（價格標籤）, you can get four hens（四隻母雞） and a pretty fancy（相當華麗的） chicken coop（雞舍）.

Rent-the-Chicken is not a new company（新公司）. In fact, it has been supplying（供應） chickens to homes（家庭） across the US and Canada since 2013. And don’t worry（擔心） if you discover（發現） that you’ve grown attached to（產生感情） your hens（母雞）, the company also offers adoption service（收養服務） as well.

So the next time you crave（渴望） for an omelet（煎蛋捲）, instead of heading straight to（直接前往） a supermarket（超市） for some eggs（雞蛋）, just simply（簡單地） go to your backyard（後院） and take a couple of（拿幾顆） freshly-laid eggs（剛產下的雞蛋）.
