The silly thing is that it doesn’t make sense to have a couple of chickens in the city. A guy I know tried to keep a handful of chickens, and math geek he was, kept track of all the costs and the number of eggs produced. I think the first year he was at $4 an egg and after that it was something like $2 an egg. This was a 15 years ago, I don’t think it will have gotten any better since.
50-30 years ago my grandma on a farm kept 30ish chickens and that kept them with enough eggs for a family of 4 + 2 to 4 farmhands. So if you want to have enough chickens to have enough eggs at all times you need a farm, otherwise they are just nuisance pets.
