Wellington North council has no interest in allowing backyard chicken coops.
Mount Forest resident Mark Baldock recently asked council to reconsider a 2017 council decision that banned them. He wrote that there are residents who would like to have a backyard chicken coop. He suggested that six or fewer chickens in a small, secure backyard coop would be appropriate.
No one on council supported the suggestion.
The only alternative left is for the homeowner to seek an official zoning bylaw amendment.
