Foxes would definitely be a problem, but cats don't go near the chickens over here.

Not a lot, make sure they have food and water, and that they are sheltered from predators at night. We have six hens and a rooster. The work consists of cleaning the coop once a week, and at the same time clean and refill the water dispenser and fill up the food reservoir. My kids do this in half an hour. We also have to pick up the eggs daily. We raised our Brahma chickens ourselves after hatching them in an incubator, and they are wonderful pets.
Edit: because we feed them a more varied diet, the eggs also taste better.

Binging the "dungeon crawler Carl" books by Matt Dinniman. I just started the fourth one, "the gate of the feral gods". I still like reading them for the mindless fun factor. I don't know if I'll read them all in one go, I've also got "midnight black" by Mark Greaney on my to read list, and I've always liked the gray man books. And I still haven't read the latest two Jack Reacher novels, but those are lower on the list this moment.
