I'm jealous but it would be chicken massacre if I had them. My city/town allows 4 hens (no roosters) Unfortunately, even with a sturdy coop, raccoons are very smart and are very urban and would find a way to get to the hens (they are no long as nocturnal around here and do not seem to be afraid of humans. It's unfortunate because fresh eggs are very tasty. Have fun with your chickens.
