re: backyard chickens...they're not hard to raise, but they do require quite a bit more care than, say, your average feral yard cat. Daily food & water, basic vet care, protection from predators, supplemental calcium/trace minerals, adequate space... Plus, you need to figure out if you'll eat 'em (which means killing them) when they stop laying or whether you're okay with feeding a non-laying hen.
A former neighbor of mine while living in the Garden District, had a large chicken farm.
They were from OK, I believe, and spent plenty of time taking care of the chickens.
I remember one day coming home and their dog(big arse dog) broke into the coop and ate 2 of the 7 chickens. I never had a problem with the chickens but I know the cops were alerted to the situation by some nosy neighbor. Not sure what if any legal hoops you have to jump through in regard to chicken ownership.

Depends on the locale. Hens are okay in Orleans Parish, but not roosters. Dunno about Jefferson. Many suburban neighborhoods w/covenants prohibit "livestock" and include chickens in this definitions.
