How much work would 3-4 hens be? We are gone for prolonged periods, but I figure neighbors/friends would take care of them for free eggs.
I should say that I already buy fresh eggs fairly cheap, so I know those benefits. I think my kids would enjoy having some birds around, though.

I live smack dab in the city, and a neighbor has 5 hens that roam the alley. It's weird walking the alley to the local convenience store and skirting a bevvy of biddies.
