You are a very good human. Good humans buy their cats expensive gifts.
Biggest thing I advise is to watch out for whatever flooring material it uses. If it's something like 1/8 or 1/4 sheets, I'd reinforce it with some thicker OSB underneath. Lot of people buy these cheaper kits and end up with a raccoon easily chewing through the bottoms of the exposed nesting boxes.

A few points:
- First, a lot of work.
- Second, you are unlikely to save money, even with eggs at $6/dozen.
- Third, a ton of amateurs starting to raise chickens is bound to make the bird flu pandemic worse than it already is.
- Fourth, if you want a pet, cats are much better pets (and dogs, to a lesser extent).
- Fifth, egg prices will come back down eventually.
Speaking like someone who never raised a chicken. You missed all the fun of it. Same goes with your comment on cat vs dog.
Egg prices came down as predicted. I can get them for under $3/doz now.
Dogs are great if you like incessant barking, filthy habits, and desperate need for constant attention.
Cats are clean, understand the value of personal space, don't need baths, and doesn't suffer from wet dog smell.
In short, cats rule, dogs drool, and chickens are food, not pets.
