I took up chicken raising this year. I have three laying hens and two laying ducks. I get an egg out of each one everyday. I had no idea I would get this many eggs. I have eggs coming out my ears with just the 3 of us. I have the small one of these these. http://www.henhoops.com They work great. My chickens free range all day. If you want a smaller flock raise all natural non-gmo eggs. The feed is a little higher but they go for twice the price. Check out this book. It's has everything you need to know on raising chickens. http://www.amazon.com/Storeys-Guide-Raising-Chickens-Edition/dp/1603424695
The chickens are pretty rewarding and my daughter loves the ducks. They will eat bread from her hands. I think you will enjoy this endeavor.
