I am not allowed or able to use my &quot;chicken tractor&quot; http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150279471703540.350594.715783539&amp;type=1&amp;l=2441deb500<br />so am offering it to anyone who would like it and can use it. Right now it&#39;s stored at #4, 1226 Lawlor Road (South Gate Mobile Home Park), Nanaimo, but it can&#39;t stay there. Any ideas? Please call me, Chris at 250 591-3845<br />20110801 My Chicken Tractor<br />I need a simple way to weed, pick bugs, mow and fertilize the lawn as well as my raised beds I&#39;m planning... Intrigued?

It was legal to do so in Nanaimo for quite some time, I am not sure when the bylaws changed. My neighbours do not complain about my 6 hens, even though one is afraid of them, she still brings her grandchildren over to see them. I compost the shavings &amp; manure to use on my vegetable garden and share the eggs we receive. They are a great learning experience for my family and I would say just as loveable as the family dog or guinea pig.<br />My suggestion would be for someone to make a resource available for the city folk to easily dispose of their unwanted hens.. such as I&#39;ve seen advertised on a european website http://www.omlet.co.uk/homepage/homepage.phpDenisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05597119423661134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574837432999048774.post-39994959339985750152009-12-02T06:25:17.732-08:002009-12-02T06:25:17.732-08:00I am thrilled that you have encouraged city council to consider allowing chickens on city lots. I look forward to having my own small flock - something I&#39;ve always wanted to do, though I am a complete novice.<br />Great work and thank you for your efforts!<br />Kim Challis<br />coolkim2002@hotmail.comKimnoreply@blogger.com
