re: Tell me about raising chickens

Here's something no one tells you. They will claw and rake the grass in the tractor. Make lots of mud and kill grass. You have to move it a lot. You can let them free range (they will stay close to the coop and still go inside it at night), which is better for your grass...but they will go for the shade and shite EVERYWHERE. (Under your patio). They are mean as hell but incredible pest control.
A guy I know spent a week in the icu from inhaling dried chicken shite. You have to be careful.

If you have any woodsy areas you want cleared, put them there. They cleaned the hell out of my poison oak/ivy. They're as good as goats in that regard, as well.

See the picture I posted. This coop is on a 16' trailer with diamond plate expanded floor so the poop drops through. But they come out and walk around. They have used an electric fence about half an acre or so and move it about every two weeks.
