Chickens in Toronto!

[Catherine]

The subject has come up again. The bylaws ban the keeping of chickens in Toronto, but people want to keep chickens. So the city is considering lifting the ban. Or at least lifting it in some areas just to see how it goes.

There are already chickens in Toronto. They are just not legally here. Sometimes you can hear them. I am sure the city would be better for having a few hens around. We now have bee hives in the city and they are no trouble. A few chickens would eat a lot of bugs and help reduce insect pests.  I think it is a great idea.

I think we should have goats too. They would be better than all the lawn mowers we have around.
