The grind to get these signatures is exhausting but we are getting closer to the five hundred mark. Please take a moment to send this link to anyone you know who wants to see backyard chickens in our city. We need to hit that next threshold to ensure the council recognizes this is a serious demand.

City council insists on being progressive with everything else, so why not backyard chickens? I'd rather have them as neighbours than barking dogs.
I love chickens! I grew up with them and have been raising them in backyard in Mexico. They are calming and better than a Xanax. Plus they are lovable and have taught my children a lot in terms of compassion and tenderness.
I think that people should be aloud to have them as long as there quite birds and kept clean and taken care of.. I don't see no harm in it and if people can have pigs as pets why not chickens...
Why can I, and my neighbors, own barking dogs, but my right to own a food producing bird is denied? It is a much more humane life for these chickens to live as pets as opposed to a factory.
Urban farming is the only means to be sustainable as per the UN declaration of 2013. It is time we were all sustainable. This should be part of the Calgary initiatives for Food safety and food security. Grow Calgary, Imagine Calgary, Green Calgary and Calgary Eats are all good initiatives. Dont go half way.
Please allow Calgary residents to have small numbers of backyard chickens

Chickens are beneficial in many ways, even as a therapeutic animal. Lots of other places understand that - why do we ignore this fact in Calgary?
