Is anyone still enthused about getting chickens legalized on city sized lots in surrey.
I am living under the radar with my 4 chickens.. but if I can help anonymously I would love to see this restrictive rule changed !
If Vancouver can have chickens.. surely Surrey can !!

I want to get the bylaws changed in the District of North Van – we need to have chickens over here too! Any suggestions on how I should get that started?

I’m a local artist doing a series on animals and the people who live/work with them. I’m looking for someone who currently keeps chickens who would be willing to have me come and photograph and/or sketch them with their chickens. The final piece will be an artistic interpretation based on sketches and photos. Please email me if you are willing to participate! misskale@gmail.com
Thanks! Shannon

If you are looking for chickens, you could always contact the Fraser Valley Poultry Fanciers – I went to their fall show last year, got a program, and it lists lots of breeders.

Most go beyond the “brown hen” though – purebreds, and they can be expensive.

The Vancouver City Council is looking at considering the bylaw change allowing backyard hens at its February 4, 2010 meeting (still tentative but probable). If you would like to see Council approve the bylaw change it would be a good idea to attend this meeting and be prepared to speak in support of the bylaw change.

If you are wanting to help change the Richmond Chicken Bylaw, you should go to this website: http://richmondfoodsecure.blogspot.com/.

There is a chicken class that we’ll be teaching there on July 4th, and you should contact Arzeena about working on the Bylaw.
