That depends on the value you’re looking to get out of it.
As pets? Not too bad, and they’re a lot of fun.
As food? Feed costs money, you need to clean out the coop, depending on where you live you’ll need to protect them (e.g. coyotes, etc), etc. There’s a fair amount of work, such that I estimate it costs quite a bit more than commercially farmed chickens. They do taste better than store bought, but it’s hard to put a number on that.
