Chicken Farm Vermillion Bay

A Vermillion Bay farmer wants to be able to slaughter chickens in Northwestern Ontario.

Ron Rhyner wants to raise a small number of chickens and sell them but inter provincial slaughter rules won't allow him.

Rhyner says the Ministry of Agriculture has said that local abbatoirs could get involved and start slaughtering chickens.

Currently the closet chicken abbatoir is in Manitoba and it is illegal to sell chickens slaughtered out of province.
