Backyard chicken coops are not as popular in Minto as it once seemed.
Minto decided to make an exception to its bylaw and license any chicken coop owner who came forward and applied.
Minto CAO Bill White said about 20 residents indicated an interest, but in the end only three went through with it and got a license.
Minto council licensed two backyard chicken coops in Clifford and one in Harriston.
