Katfish,
Make sure you have a well built coop that can lock-not just close every night. An enclosed yard top to bottom is ideal, but the locked coop at night is mandatory.
The poop is great for the garden! You can add it to your compost.
Roosters are best left for the larger scale chicken farms or properties, not the typical suburban back yard. (your neighbors will thank you!) They are not necessary for egg production-only fertilization. Have fun!

Got chickens in NoCo. Lots of fun and lots of work. My 3 pieces of advice before you get the birds:
predators (how to avoid?)
poop (what to do with it?)
roosters (they can be ornery-what to do?)

It seems I’m never in town for these things.
Ferguson would do so well to have public art and to install an artful rack every other year, would be a great way to do it!http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2008-11-02-bike-rack-art_N.htm
Also, I’ve brought this one up before but we’ve used bike shares in many countries. It’s awesome! http://www.bcycle.com/
