Thank you all. We will certainly make good use of the site as we muddle our way through chicken owning...

Cheers!

Hello!

My name is Heather, and I was one of the people who worked with the City to legalize chickens (of course they aren't REALLY legal until the bylaw is written, and we are helping to advise them about that, too).

I think Clayton Botkin, the President of the Fraser Valley Poultry Fanciers, would be a great place to start, as for locating Bantam, rare, or Heritage breeds. The organizations website is:

Our informal group of chicken activists and educators also just started this blog. It is brand new, so please post to it and check back often:

And here is a link to our Chickens in Vancouver Facebook page:

Lastly, here is the Chicken section on Vancouver's own City Farmer website:

Hope to see you around town!

Thanks again all. Getting ever so closer to finding chicks. I'll post pics of them in the brooder when it happens along with our cadillac (or should that be very fine bicycle) of a coop...
