Can I just feed them foodscraps or do they need some special chicken feed?
Some foodscraps are fine (next week they'll be eating the inside of our jack-o-lantern pumpkin for instance). Some foods are a definite no-no, but any chicken book or web page can tell you which ones.
For egg layers, you should get layers pellets for the bulk of their food, but these are literally dirt cheap compared with the number of eggs you'll get back for it.

Do your chickens cock-a-doodle-do? Some arse near where I live has a right bastard rooster that lets rip at 5am.
Yeah, me parents had one for about a year then built a bigger one so they could get more chicken. Cockerel was a pain in the arse though and kept attacking me mum, so I shot it with a 12bore.
