I live in the Country in Ohio. It is beautiful. I know someone who is growing inside an apartment. If you have a porch you might be interested in patio/dwarf food producing trees. I haven't owned one but plan to in the future. They stay potted forever by what I've read you just have to up pot as need every few years. You may also be interested in Coturnix Quail and/or Cochin Bantam Chickens. I don't own Cochin Bantams but they need very litter room and produce many eggs for their size. I do own Coturnix Quail, they only need about ~1 sq ft per bird or less depending on your goal. If you just want egg laying pets then I think the standard size is best because they lay an average of 300 eggs per year (3-4 of these eggs makes on large chicken egg). They also only eat an average of 1.5 oz a day. If you want for meat and egg production than Jumbos are best. My Shire Jumbo Wild when mature (in ~8 weeks) weight 14 oz. They eat 2 oz a day, have basically the same room requirements, have 280 eggs per year (If I remember right 2-3 Jumbo quail eggs is equal to one large chicken egg), but live on average quite a bit shorter than standard size. That's why I own standard size as my pets. Their is even blue egging Coturnix Quail called Celedon (they have most of the same patterns of an average Coturnix and look the same except the hens lay blue eggs, some with speckles and the higher end ones without, I like both looks though). I hope this was helpful to you.
