We live a financially rich, time poor society and so with any new venture we each must ask..."Do we have the time?"
Although chickens are relatively low-maintenance, they do require time for daily care and maintenance. The necessary time is almost negligible as you only need 15 to 20 minutes daily (depending on the number of chickens in your flock). This time is spent collecting eggs, replenishing their food and water as well as making sure that their bedding is dry. If you set up things well, with food and water systems you may even be able to get away for some weekends!
I think that I can make that amount of time, especially if we share it around the family.
