I have several friends that have chickens. It's difficult to keep less than four, they've found. Socialization or something. One has two large german shepards, one has two mid-sized dogs. You can have roosters in our area, but just one. And if it crows, you gotta take it out. They all say that the chickens are really affectionate and fun to have. They're currently laying fewer eggs since there is less daylight... which I didn't know before. But one of my friends gets about 15 eggs a week from her 8 chickens. If you build a fairly strong coop, cats shouldn't be an issue. The one with the two mid-sized dogs also has a couple of cats that live in her neighborhood.
