Re: Neighbour sticks up for Burnaby resident’s backyard chickens, NOW News
I bike past this residence in the mornings and, personally, the occasional sound of a crowing rooster or clucking hen is much more pleasant than the constant noise of the SkyTrain scraping by or high-speed car traffic on Boundary Road.
Granted, I am not an immediate neighbour of this house, but from all outside appearance their chicken coop is well kept and provides a bit of idyllic oasis in an urban environment.
I very much applaud Coun. Joe Keithley’s motion to have city council re-examine this issue, and hope city staff can report on this in a timely manner.
