Name: Anonymous on May 4, 2008Comments: a limited number of chicken (perhaps 6 as a max) will not be a problem in backyards. No roosters. If people can collect and keep multiple cats, dogs, rabbits .... why can't they raise a few chickens to supplement their food sources.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 4, 2008Comments: Toronto recently hosted a conference on urban agriculture. What would sustainable urban agriculture be without chickens Maybe a solution is for the city to license chickens, the way it licenses just about everything else, including pets.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 4, 2008Comments: The prohibition on urban chickens is both illogical and contrary to the principles of sustainability. The City of Toronto has pioneered many environmental initiatives such as the green bin, downspout disconnection, the Green Roof Incentive Pilot Program, the Green Development Standard, and many more. Why then are concerned citizens denied the privelege of raising backyard chickens, which turn table scraps into a healthy food source and rich, non-chemical fertilizer for the vegetable garden Why are citizens allowed to keep unlimited pigeons or several 100lb dogs but not even one chicken Animal by-laws should be revised to allow a broader range of animals, but stressing responsible pet ownership and placing LOGICAL limits on the numbers and species allowed. With responsible pet ownership, noise, smell, disease and other potential problems are avoided. If the City trusts its citizens to responsibly keep cats (which are often allowed to wander neighbourhoods with out restriction - depositing their biohazardous waste in neighbours' yards) or dogs (who can bark and whose waste is considerably more dissagreeable than chicken droppings) then why not a couple of hensFlag

Name: Anonymous on May 4, 2008Comments: I've been wanting to raise chickens in my backyard for YEARS. We already grow our own vegetables and fruits, compost, recycle (freecycle too!) and collect rain water. Raising chickens would help with fertilizing the garden and getting rid of earwigs and other bugs. It really is the next step for many of us who are trying to live a sustainable, self-sufficient and environmentally responsible life in the city.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 5, 2008Comments: I raised chickens in the country years ago and miss having them around me now. It was a total de-stress to go in the coop and listen to the soft chatter, collect the eggs and tend to them. I also had roosters and incubated/hatched chicks. I am semi-country now but unfortunately very little space and a dog that chases birds. My previous dog, an Aussie used to protect the chickens as her job. she could go right into the pen and coop and never disturb or hurt them and would lick the new chicks after they were hatched, watching over them like a mother hen.Flag

Name: Anonymous on May 5, 2008Comments: As food prices escalate, Toronto citizens should have the right to raise their own chickens in their own backyards. Home-raised chickens and the eggs and meat they produce are healthier. Also, much less non-renewable energy is required to raise chickens in our own backyards.Flag
