Chicken comes first - Prepare for some hard work
By Samantha Butler The Whig-Standard
Updated 10 days ago
Keeping hens isn't rocket science, but it does involve work, the co-ordinator of Urban Agriculture Kingston says.
Now that hens are legally allowed on residential Kingston properties, Mike Payne said there are practical places for home-based henners to start.
"It's about informing yourself and being conscientious," he said. "They're like a pet — you need to understand that before getting into it. But it's certainly an accessible undertaking for most people."
Urban Agriculture Kingston has had a backyard chicken sub-committee for two years, he said, consulting with residents and city council about the feasibility of city chickens.
Thirty people, ready to start henning, have emerged to form the Kingston Henners Network. They scored a big win Tuesday night when council agreed to pilot their proposed bylaw for two years.
Contacting neighbours and designing a coop are the first two things to do, Payne said.
