hello and welcome to SS. i don't have any experience with chickens or those trees (other than apple) so i'll let others chime in about those.

.22 acres may be tough to get everything to fit but it also depends upon how much gardening you want to do as compared to the larger plantings that go up and away from the chickens. most garden vegetable crops need a fair bit of sun to be productive.

thinking and daydreaming are great ways to spend a winter season. :)

For gardening I was thinking of clear totes as a raised garden bed this year the small patch of ground I did bush beans and they did great I just have to figure out what I wanna grow and how many totes I need I have chicken manure to compost for fertilizer I have some sitting and waiting for next season I just gotta figure out what I wanna try in my greenhouse I have 4rotes set up in there I'm going to try a couple of totes of chicken poo to try to heat it it'll be a learning curve for me I'll give it a shot
