I'm about to start. Researching coops now. My household is basically carb free, so we go through a LOT of eggs. Going to start small, 8 or so chickens, then see where it takes us.

My wife has a flock of 15. We end up giving away eggs to friends and family.
Here's a link to a good site. Study up and you can be a "chickenologist" like my wife.

Do yourself a favor and build a coop with an automatic door. I went out of country and for 3 weeks. Came home and the girls were all healthy and happy. I did have someone come by every 3 days and pull eggs. Don’t worry about a lot of nesting box space. They all use the same 1 or 2 anyway. Mine were true free range and just ate whatever. Only feed we gave them were leftovers and sometimes my kids would throw them fish

We have a dozen chickens. Small pen with a coop from Tractor Supply inside for them to roost and lay their eggs.
