Should I cohabitate with and routinely handle disease vectors that I have no prior experience caring for?

This is true of all animal husbandry but unless you're buying chicks from huge sellers you'll be fine.

You almost never have to handle chickens if you build your coop right. We didn't even have a permanent coop, merely a mobile one, but chickens are really good at coming back home to roost. There are books and plenty of info on the internet on how to do it right.

Forgot that comments like these lose their meaning over text. Answer: No. Do not raise chickens because you think you're going save a few nickels eggs.
