Regina city council will decide whether to allow some residents to keep backyard hens as a trial project. If the plan submitted by Ward 8 Coun. Shanon Zachidniak gets council approval, three to six hens could be kept at 20 locations across the city. Under Zachidniak's proposed motion, city administration would try and ensure there would be two locations per ward. A bylaw would be drafted by administration that would set guidelines, and health and safety regulations.
