They are pretty low maintenance but I would check your towns bylaws first.

We are for sure, they are pretty easy. Make sure they have a solid coup. You can build one yourself. Make the run animal proof and the ladies will produce eggs happily.

where did you get your chickens from, and what breed(S) do you keep?
also - def not related, but when i was a kid up in thunder bay, we had some "boat people" neighbours that kept their chickens in the house. in the kitchen cupboards. it was awesome. i doubt housing thought so, but there ya go.

ISA and we picked them up a from a egg farm. But you should be able to pick up chicks from any farm.

@KlausAnalSchwab how many chickens do you have/did you start with? how long have you been keeping chickens?

1 year now, we started with 4 now we have 6. Winter was easy with them, I rigged a ceramic heatlamp into their coup with a temp controller and kept it at 5C. Summer has been a bit more challenging with the heat, but its a small hurtle. We have been eating home grown eggs for a year now.

I had a bunch of chickens a few years back, but the fishers (see pic below) would climb up the bank from the river and break into the coop during the night -- they couldn't get through the heavy wooden doors, but they did chew through the wire covering the vents, the bastards. After the flock was wiped out I didn't bother getting back into it, though I may do at some point
