I'm getting five new female chicks! Does anyone here have any advice on raising chicks/chickens in a city neighborhood?

I am getting 5 new female chicks, hopefully Red Sex Links, and although I have raised chicks before, does anyone have any advice on raising chickens in an urban neighborhood? I have a sizeable backyard, but I am also surrounded by other houses. Any advice is appreciated!

Check your city's rules and regulations regarding chickens. Check everything - not just about the chickens, but the chicken coop, building codes, setback from the property line, and all that. See if there are other chicken keepers in your neighborhood/city and talk to them about their experience. This is extremely city-specific and even neighborhood-specific, so whatever advice you get on here, you should also supplement with information specific to your town.
