Chickens are not hard to care for. So rewarding to see a new fresh egg almost every day. So rewarding. Teaches kids to care for animals and an understanding of where our food comes from.

I believe these animals cause no damage to the community and therefore should not be prohibited. In Quebec they are allowed and everything is going well. As long as the amount of chickens is regulated it shouldn't be a problem.

Carleton Place and Gatineau both allow chickens. There is no reason for Ottawa not to.

The up to date petition is Over at www.change.org/OttawaChickens. We are currently emailing several Councillors about this exact thing.

With COVID-19 and business shutdowns, Ottawans are concerned more than ever about getting food on the table. Lets provide food support to the people of Ottawa!

I think that this would also be very educative for children as well - I fully support this initiative and hope that backyard hens in Ottawa will be legalized.

I am experienced with raising chickens. I believe it is completely manageable with in city limits. A flock cap would be perfectly acceptable and as well as a management plan. There is no more risk with chickens then cats or dogs. How many cats roam and get hit on the road? How many complaints are heard about dogs barking? Chicken owners must understand their birds would need to be contained and that they are not summer time pets. Other then that YES lets allow chickens.

A few chickens in a backyard are fine! People have dogs and they poop everywhere all over the sidewalks - it's disgusting! I say ban dogs before banning chickens

I would like to keep 2 to 3 chickens. Change the bylaw but cap it, if you must to so many per lot size.

Please allow ottawaians to have backyard hens! It would be such a great teaching tool for the kids and helpful for families in general!

I keep a few backyard hens and they are wonderful pets and great food producers. I can guarantee my hens are happier, healthier and have much more space than factory hens. This practice is good for humans and good for hens and it's outrageous that it is not allowed.

Even though I live across the river, in Gatineau, I want to support any effort towards urban chicken. I wish to accomplish to same thing here and have happy chickens in my backyard.

What are the implications of being 'caught' with 2 chickens in my backyard? Hanging me or just finding me, how much is the fine? Does anyone know? After 40 years in the same house in Kanata, I'm thinking of moving.
