I live rurally and my neighbour keeps chickens.
They occasionally all get slaughtered by foxes or whatever (heads and gore left in the strangest places like they do it on purpose), and they regularly crap all over my front door step!
I hate them. For what it costs to feed them, and the inconvenience of keeping them, you might as well just buy your eggs.
(And cats do kill them by the way- one night here 8 chicks were eaten by my next neighbour’s cat, which lives 3 miles away!).
