The choice to have chickens within city limits is unfair. With rising food prices and people wanting to feed them selves in a healthy way. Chickens are a great way to have low cost protien in their diets. This will even help their overall health.

We would love to be able to have chicken to teach our children where eggs come from. Also a great opportunity to teach our children responsibility.

Backyard chickens are just one of the many ways we are going to have to start reconnecting with our food.

I will not be moving into the city of Peterborough until hens are allowed in my backyard...I am currently looking to move to the area.

I like the idea of people being sustainable with chickens and vegetables etc.by raising their own fowl they know haw the bird was raised ie: no GMO's

Chickens can eat kitchen waist, thus reducing garbage volume in the landfill.

What is the harm. Not seeing anything wrong with organic, price effective, friendly way of food.

People should have the right to grow their own food.

Let's get back to the basics and get connected with the food we eat. I don't think we can even buy farm fresh eggs at the famers market anymore, because of bylaws that were implemented, is that correct?

Laura Hicks

Please try to find a compromise, where us city dwellers are still able to keep a few hens or quail. These animals can provide healthy food and a healthy lifestyle. Laura 589 Fagan Ave. Peterborough ON

I think it's a geat thing. I'm sure a limit on hens is a good idea also. I have had the pleasure of speaking to some people that have hens and they seem to enjoy them and enjoy the benefits of free ranged eggs. I've heard them speak of how unnoticed they can be.

This should be celebrated!! people should be able to raise their own chickens. Chickens are after all more useful than the millions of dogs and cats people seem to have no problem keeping. Growing ones own food and raising some chickens are also healthy ways to address the rising cost of living in Peterborough.

Ross Jamieson

The PHS estimate of $53,800.00 a year to administer to a new bylaw allowing urban chickens sounds like an exaggeration and needs to be examined, item by item, by our council reps for it's voracity.

Growing and raising our own organic food are necessary lessons to teach our children, as we are quickly becoming disconnected from the source of our food and kids only know it comes from a grocery store in a package.
