We believe backyard hens to be a positive change for the community, adding variety and value to our urban landscape, while reflecting the City and District of North Vancouver’s sustainable living and environmental mandates.
City OK's backyard chicken coops Council approves keeping of 8 hens for personal use in single-family zones
City residents can now keep as many as eight hens for personal use. Roosters remain prohibited and the hens cannot be slaughtered.
Hen-keeping is permitted in single unit residential zones that wrap around the city in a horseshoe shape and house approximately 20 per cent of city residents.
The change in bylaws will likely mean between 20 and 30 chicken coops in the city, according to city staff.
There is no registration or mandatory inspections for residents hoping to enjoy fresh eggs.
