I have been spending my evenings talking to neighbors who just want the right to grow their own food. The feedback from the town council has been frustratingly slow but I am preparing my formal presentation for the next public hearing.
October 9, 2017
Seeing so many neighbors speak up for the right to raise these birds in our own backyards has been truly overwhelming. This momentum proves that we all care deeply about having more autonomy over how we live and provide for our families here in Georgina.

If Toronto is allowing it in some wards, we as a rural community should be allowed as well. Of course limiting the number of hens and not allowing rosters.
As long as they are contained on the owners property and limited to a reasonable number it should be ok. I would actually love a few chickens of my own and would know how to keep them responsibly as my hubby grew up on a chicken farm and I grew up on a horse farm. We are not anti animals by any means and love local farm products. The problems isn't the chickens. The problem is people allow them to roam onto other people's properties. Chicken poo can be toxic to dogs and I would assume children. So if this goes through as I hope it does, I think a by-law needs to be in place to ensure chickens cannot roam off the owners property. I'm all for free range but please don't allow it to become a problem for someone else.
It's our rite to grow healthy food.
Chickens please.
I want happy hens and fresh eggs!
Just tell them they are emotional support animal I have a pot belly pig that lives beside me. I rather have chickens.
It's time

Yes! Lived on farm with egg laying hens and would love to be able to have hens in my back yard in Keswick!
