Tom wouldn’t let me raise chickens even if I wanted to but it’s nice to know the option has become available. Wouldn’t it be nice to have fresh eggs and chicken to eat? But they’re a lot of work and mess and I just don’t have the time right now, anyway.
(Though sometimes I think I’d like to keep a noisy rooster on the side next to the people with the yappy little mutts.)
According to this article, the City of Calgary has dropped charges against several folks who are raising chickens in their backyards.
It doesn’t say specifically that the bylaw is going to be changed any time soon, but it does say, “More than 300 cities in North America, including Vancouver and New York, have amended their bylaws to allow urban chickens.”
