Innisfail resident calling for Town to allow urban chickens
Innisfail residents could be hearing a lot more clucking if one resident gets her way.
Lisa Reid, who’s lived in the town since 1999, presented to council this week proposing to allow urban chickens.
She says other municipalities like Red Deer and Lacombe allow it, so why not Innisfail?
“They’re a great thing for little kids to learn some responsibility, and they’re great for reducing waste in the landfill,” she says. “Anything starting to go bad in your fridge, give it to the birds, except for avocado and citrus fruits.”
