Saint-Lazare is among the first municipalities that will allow domestic chicken coops in the very near future.
In a recent announcement the Town of Sainte-Lazare announced that they would be offering a free workshop for those interesting in raising chickens.
Did you know that a chicken can live 10 to 12 years?
That it stops laying eggs considerably after the first years of its life?
That it must be sheltered from the cold during the long winter months?
Your hens will provide eggs for you and raising chickens can be a fun hobby. To raise chickens, set up a habitat in your backyard with a coop, run, and other equipment. Feed the chickens a healthy diet. Make sure to deal with city-related issues, such as noise and rodents.
The Announcement from St-Lazare:
As soon as the Town receives its certificate of compliance from the MRC in the coming weeks, Saint-Lazare’s by-law will authorize chickens in non-agricultural zones under certain conditions, and upon obtaining a 25 $ permit.
