Yeah, for most of my time raising chickens (about 10 years) I about break even on the eggs, until recently when egg costs skyrocketed in my area.

But I do everything as cheaply as possible (coop and run are mostly from salvaged materials), and I eat the chickens when they're done laying.  Most suburbanites are not up for that level of reality.

I really want to try this. Questions for you:

1) how loud are they? My HOA prohibits them but if I had a coop in my garage with like 3-4 would anyone hear it? 

2) can I just feed them kitchen scrap instead of buying feed? I have two children under 4 so we end up with a lot of food waste
