First, you need to check your city ordinences. They are not allowed in city limits in all areas. When they are, there are usually limits on the types of chickens, and how many per square feet of open yard. It is best if you have your own fenced off yard. You would need to build a small coup that is secure against city animals such as dogs, cats, and racoons. You will also need a steel can or something similar to keep their feed in. Squirrels will chew straight through a plastic can to get to it. You can find plans for portable chicken runs on plenty of websites. A portable run is good in a smaller yard. You can move them out of the way when it is time to mow or have friends over. It will also prevent your hens from tearing up one part of the yard too bad. It is best not to have any roosters in the city, even if they are allowed. They will crow, and they will do it loudly. It will almost without a doubt lead to neighbor problems.
