So you think you want to get in on the backyard-chicken-raising trend — mmm, farm-fresh omelets — but you’re worried you might cluck it all up? Just rent a chicken instead. The national Rent the Chicken company has expanded to the Bay Area, courtesy of the Sternzon Family Farm in San Martin, offering various plans in which you can get a coop, a couple of hens, feed and phone/online support for six months. Then, if you realize you’re not a super chicken person, you can give the fowl back. No harm, no fowl. Check out www.rentthechicken.com.
