Your support may help others in the condo to see the chicken owner’s side instead of immediately siding with the more loud and aggressive complainer.

I am taking an online course from the University of Guelph right now on Sustainable Urban Agriculture. It’s all about the importance of green space in our cities and the anticipated food crisis that is resulting in cities like Seattle making chickens legal. Vancouver has recently approved the estabishment of an urban farm in a local park. Happily there seems to be a lot of support for the idea. I guess the chickens are a bit farther away when in a park than when they sit outside your door. Any way — like you I say more power too them — and you.

I personally wouldn’t get chickens on a rental property at all unless the owners were involved. And even then, what if the next place they move to doesn’t have room or won’t allow them? Then it turns into another situation where a person has to relinquish their pets to the humane society. However, a smoker who manages to lose his extinguished butts on a regular basis has little room to talk about unsightly and not being “green”.

On a personal note, my landlords keep promising me they’ll bring some of their chickens over for me to take care of, but it hasn’t happened yet. I’m still hoping it’ll happen this spring, but if it doesn’t I plan to get chickens whenever we finally buy our own house.
