Anyone here raising a herd in the city?

I live in a small apartment with extremely small backyard space in a crowded city. Anyone here who has any tips on what herd animals are ideal for this situation? Thanks in advance everyone!

That may be tough as far as herd animals. Maybe chickens or rabbits though?

I concur- chickens and rabbits would be great.

The author no longer updates it but she kept chickens and goats in San Francisco.

Can't see a herd happening there...but, my nephew and his wife are able to keep rabbits and were allowed to build a rabbit shed. For them, even the noise of chickens wasn't acceptable, but with rabbits...no problem. Good luck with whatever you decide on!

The first thing to do would be to check with the landlord and get permission in writing to have the animals. Also if they will be inside put down something to protect the floors and walls. We manage rental for a living and have had units where flooring is damaged and walls have to be scrubbed down due to tenants not taking time to clean up. Good Luck
