- cynicalpeace 1y ago"roosters should not be allowed" Why? We have a rooster. He protects the hens. He crows in the morning, just like dogs bark, and F-250s rev past the neighborhood road. Where do you think chickens come from in the first place? It's just another small step to say "hens should not be allowed"

Just like I cannot host loud dance parties at 2AM on a Saturday or start mowing my lawn at 6AM on a Sunday.

- metaphor 1y ago> Roosters should not be allowed Ironically, the article depicts the homeowner holding a rooster; I can see why a neighbor would be pissed. Backyard hens are thing in my city (dancing around HOA is another issue altogether), but our ordinance makes it abundantly clear that roosters are not permitted.
- AlotOfReading 1y agoA former neighbor had chickens and didn't keep their coop properly secured. Coincidentally, the neighborhood raccoons were also the fattest, roundest animals I've ever seen.
