I had some chickens when I was younger and that was because I was living on a farm at the time. We kept our chickens inside a small building where they can keep warm and lay their eggs inside. We built a few rows of boxes big enough for the chickens to climb inside to make their nest and lay their eggs. We would leave a light on for them during the winter months. Then, we have a fenced area for them to go outside and we put some more fencing wire over the top so, the chickens can't fly out. We would feed the chickens twice a day, once in the morning and then, again around dinner time. The only negative about having so many chickens is cleaning out their home. Trust me, they don't smell very good at all LOL.
