Vancouver Backyard Hens by Jenn Pentland
City staff has been working hard to write guidelines for backyard chicken keeping in Vancouver. The first draft of those guidelines have been released and staff is now looking for public feedback.
Here's the direct link to a pdf of the guidelines.
For a bit of commentary on the guidelines check out urban chicken aficionado Heather Havens' comments at the chickensinvancouver blog. (Includes a link to the guidelines.)
And if you're looking for more information and updates about the current state of backyard chickens in Vancouver you can visit the City's Backyard Chicken web page.
More content on the way!

It was a packed room tonight at the monthly VFPC meeting! Thanks to all our guests from UBC, Environmental Youth Alliance, SPEC, and the social planning department.
Make sure to check back soon for notes from this month's VFPC meeting, including the skinny on the Environmental Youth Alliance's presentation to us, Alex Chisholm's study of community desires around community gardens, and a poll of your thoughts on Backyard Chickens!
