Bylaw amendments permitting residents to keep up to four chickens on properties as small as 550 square metres were approved this week by Colwood city councillors.
Roosters are prohibited. The bylaw regulates size and location of allowable coops.
Backyard chickens already are permitted in Victoria, Esquimalt, View Royal, Saanich, Oak Bay and, as of February, Langford.
