What a delight the person who reported you must be

Where'd they end up?

My neighbor had chickens and a rooster. It was loud, as expected, but it was lazy and would only start later in the day. In actuality it was probably because it was young and separated from other roosters. It probably eventually would’ve done the morning routine but a fox got them all one day

A rooster is a male chicken.

My old principal used to keep chickens, it's from her we bought ours. Met her again many years later, and while catching up I inquired if she was still keeping chickens. Since the big bird flu thing in the 201Xs (I think) she stopped keeping them, because the law changed how you're allowed to keep them, and she felt like while it's obviously good from an epidemiological point of view, it'd reduce their overall quality of life and that just made her really depressed.

I miss having chickens.

We had a cockerel named Papa Stroganoff, he's one of the ones we got from my principal. The reason he was named thus, is because at one point she'd brought home leftover stroganoff from the school lunch, and when she dumped it out for the chickens to eat, he dashed up and sorted out all of the sausage pieces to one side for the hens to eat.

He was such a good rooster.

It's illegal on my town to have chickens on anything less than 5 acres. I have an acre that backs up to woods far enough away that a couple hens would be no problem, but nope. One of my neighbors has 4.6 acres and used to have chickens but had to get rid of them when they changed the law. Its extra sad that my house is an original 1900s farm house with the original barn that used to have donkeys, chickens, goats and a few cows sitting on 20 acres, now I'll get fined to oblivion if I so much as get 1 quail.

I don't think it's exactly against the law. Though the local HOA might have something to say about it.

But noise complaints are noise complaints, whether or not you like the sound of chickens if they're being too loud you're going to get a knock on the door. Same as if you had a very annoying dog.

My guess is "places that have lots of predators and don't want them being attracted to residential areas". I can see an argument for banning chickens in a suburb if, say, little Susie down the street got attacked by a hungry coyote that couldn't make it into any of the coops (i have no clue if coyotes would attack a kid or not, just an example).

It's that involuntary contentedness noise they make that I love. I can't even begin to describe it, but when you get a load of happy chickens loafing about somewhere warm they make a super-relaxing sound that's like their equivalent of purring.

Over here. Better reception.

It's all fun and games until the rooster wakes you up at 4am.

ATHF reference in the wild

my neighbors ate their chickens last year. i miss their eggs.

The plot...

Many door, yes, Ed-boy?

Stupid roosters, start off at full volume and save some time! (/s if it wasnt clear)

That's a shame, they should have stuck to cock magic instead.
