We got about 4 eggs a day ~10 months a year. Though that does drop off as birds get older.
We had a ~8'x12' fully enclosed run that they got locked in at night since we had surprisingly bad predator issues for being in town. That just meant open the door to give them the run of the (fenced) yard during the day and close it again before bed. They had enough space that they could stay in their run if we were out of town for a day or two.
We used a big PVC gravity feed system for food and poultry cups for water so just had to check that once a week or so.
Whenever the run started smelling, we'd add a layer of mulch or straw in the bottom - maybe once a month.
