I want chickens!!!

I love the idea of living on a farm picking fresh eggs & milking a cow. However, I know that takes way more time than we have. So I am thinking chickens. 1. Low maintenance 2. Cheap 3. Don't take up much space 4. As morbid as it sounds if it doesn't work out you could always eat the chickens. I found this cute idea for a coup for the chickens on of course, Pinterest.
