    Whatever your urban locale, look it up. The code may surprise you. Another one is backyard meat rabbits, but that one makes more people squeamish.

      It’s not a matter of code. It’s just pure practicality and logic.

      If you rent, most likely your landlord won’t allow it. Hell just trying to get a rental with a cat is hard enough.

      If you live in apartment you likely have no place to keep chickens.

      If you live in an apartment is more the likely your landlord will not allow it or the apartment management won’t allow it.

      Code is irrelevant.

        Obviously not apartments. Renters. A lot of home owners aren’t any more financially solvent than renters these days so chickens might help. Naturally, this idea doesn’t apply to everyone but may help some people all the same.

        You can grow a plant in a Home Depot bucket. DuckDG the details. Dwarf fig is a doable patio tree. If it’s too heavy keep it on a variation of this dolly.

        Tomato plants pay for themselves. Cucumbers and Brussel sprouts are also low maintenance and doable.
