As Dave said, "victory gardens" and backyard chickens/rabbits were 
popular from WWII era and back.  Then again, large apartment complexes 
weren't a thing then, either.

It's funny how many cities now ban backyard chickens, but during the 
Great War, lots of propaganda was released to encourage back yard animals.

"Uncle Sam expects you to keep hens and raise chickens"
