It's pretty low effort as long as you clip one of their wings to make sure they don't fly away

I was thinking more about the space constraints. Chickens need quite a lot of space to be comfortable, both in terms of health but also because if they get stressed the attack each other. So they need space to spread out.

Trying to do that in suburbia seems sort of unfair to the chickens you know. The garden I have right now would need to be at least five times the size it currently is in order to meet the minimum size, and it still wouldn't comply because it's basically all just concrete and borders. So it has to be both big and basically all grass.
