The problem with not having one is they will not have a "nest" and they will lay eggs all over the place. It will be like Easter every day.

Without a coop you'll watch as your investment starts to evaporate until it is gone. Chickens are fairly inexpensive to maintain but the chickens themselves and their maintenance is not free. Mine get locked up ever night and I have not lost any to predators as long as they've been in the coop.

Raise guineas instead. They're tastier and they eat ticks and ants.
