What infrastructure do I need to make my chickens happy?

Chickens are the easiest livestock you'll ever own. Their requirements include:

Shade in the summer

Shelter from rain

Light (the sun is perfect)

A fully or semi-enclosed shelter in winter (depending on your climate)

Clean water

Food

One nest box for every 3 to 5 hens

A roost

The perfect nest box is 15" X 15" X 12". A plastic egg crate turned on its side makes a simple nest box, but you'll need to add a lip across the bottom so that the straw doesn't get kicked out. It's also best to wrap the crate so that the nest box is dark.
