I was thinking Nixon banned it in 1970, but that was paint apparently, it appears the partial bans started in 85 on gas, and complete ban was done under Clinton in 96. I don’t know anyone with chickens on a lot smaller than a acre, but maybe that’s just a regional thing around me. I can’t see how you could have free range chickens on a quarter acre lot, they’d just fly over privacy fences and piss off neighbors Id assume. But maybe three are more people doing that than I knew
It’s less about gas and more about cars. They mandated new cars run on unleaded gas in 1975. While it was technically possible to convert a leaded car to run on unleaded gas, it wasn’t done in any substantial numbers. So we had to wait for leaded cars to wear out and be replaced with new cars that ran on unleaded. That’s why I said 20 years for the car fleet to turn over.
Backyard chickens depends a lot on local laws, most cities ban them just because. But if a city allows them, afaik you don’t need much room.
