I live in Alaska and have kept around a dozen chickens since '12. It's really not that hard. Give them space, food and water and keep the predators out. I'd recommend getting set up now, but not starting until spring. It"s more difficult and way less productive in the winter.
The book building chicken coops for dummies is a good resource.
Go for large, cold hardy birds like Brahmas, Australorps or Wyandottes.
