And about nobody is raising chickens in an urban environment.
Community chickens? Like community gardens.
We are "uptown" for lack of a better description, not the more expensive part but quite close to downtown and do have a yard, our neighbors keep chickens and it's protected inside the city, you are allowed to raise them and the feral ones are also protected by law, you can't just take them and make Coq au Vin.
We have a lot of backyard chicken farms in Vancouver.
Suburbs don't really count.
I'm not talking about the suburbs. I live by Commercial drive, I have neighbours with backyard chickens.
Edit: For those who don't know Vancouver, Commercial drive is about a 15 minute bike ride from the heart of downtown.
If the suburbs were around in the 80s, they were exposed to the lead.
