Anyone want a free chicken? It is not a swindler's trick, but a business model that has helped hundreds of rural families cast off poverty in Yan'an City, the cradle of the Chinese revolution.
Business today is a far cry from how things were fifteen years ago for Zhang Chunpu, 53. Today, he does not have to sneak up to farmer's yards under cover of darkness, like he did then. He does not need to sneak chickens into farmers' yards and run away anymore.
His rent-a-chicken program is essentially a free loan of chickens to farmers who then make money by selling the free-range eggs back to Zhang's cooperative.
Over the past decade, rent-a-chicken has helped more than 800 households in Yanchang County, deep in the mountain ravines. Previously, they survived on an annual income of less than 2,500 yuan (around 360 US dollars) per capita.
