Great idea right? Ban all roosters so that people can raise hens without offending neighbors.
It's a compromise but hey, we don't need roosters for eggs... great!
WRONG
All we really need is a clear ruling on noise nuisance that can be applied to all animals including dogs and chickens.
Once you outright *ban* roosters, you now force animal control to distinguish what "looks like a rooster" because it has a comb. You create a loophole where citizens can continually call about "seeing" a rooster.
Truth be told, roosters can be quieter than hens when they have a collar or survive surgery. Plus, roosters can have a great deal of personality and really calm the hens down.
Would you consider signing my petition and spreading the word?
