Would you be able to create a coop? How will you ensure they don't get sick and die which is common with non-farm chickens.

About building a coup: it doesn’t have to be rocket science. Especially not if you are doing something small.

Lots of online plans, e.g.

Ours was something like this:

A wood frame base. A PVC frame on top of it. Plastic netting covering it all.

Sleeping quarters inside was a small wooden doghouse (with liftable roof) that had comfortable roosting beams attached inside.

Newspaper on floor of doghouse to replace every once in a while to clean.
