OCTOBER 2023
An order was received from the Animal Bylaw Enforcement Officer to remove my chickens. The order stated "any person who receives a written order, may by written notice request council of the City of Lethbridge to review the order within 14 days after it has been received". This has been done and the city clerk helped set up a public hearing.

There are an increasing number of jurisdictions that are allowing chickens. The reasons are clear - chickens provide protein, incredible fertilizer, pest control and are easy to maintain. But for me, the biggest reason for keeping chickens is to get more control of my food supply.
I told "my chicken story" in a 13 part series on the "Urban Hens YQL" Facebook page between April 26th and May 11th, 2021. Hopefully some perspective will persuade the doubters to be more open to locally sourced food.
