Santa doesn't look so jolly in that photo!Welcome to BYC. Much like you, I live in an area with a small yard. I have 4 hens although I did go through a period of time with an accidental rooster, he is no longer with us. All of my neighbors but one loved him. I did not like him much either frankly.
I have started journaling our time with the hens on my thread listed below. Please feel free to check it out.
My hens are pets, as evidenced by Lilly's trip to have her picture taken with Santa last weekend. If your planning on pet hens you will not be disappointed as long as you spend time with them.

WELCOME! How exciting it is to be starting your first flock!Welcome. For 4 hens you will need a 16 sq ft coop (at least), a 40 sq ft run (at least), and make certain to buy a breed that can be sexed at birth so there's minimal chance of getting a rooster.
