That’s a little inconsiderate. For many people, roosters are flat out illegal.

1) agreed.

2) I thought you were Happy. Not cool.

I don't think that's what they meant by that. I read it as they don't understand why they are illegal when there's so many other noises in the burbs.

That’s how I read it as well. And I agree, a barking dog isn’t much worse than a crowing rooster.

You got it

So whats the plan? Move?
I really don't see the big deal with chickens considering all the other noise (I'm assuming you live in a subdivision) dogs barking. Cars. Trash truck at 4am. Etc. And most have a noise ordinance for 9 or 10pm. Heck chickens are asleep then.

Before I bought my house couple questions I always asked. How much land & can I have chickens. Lol

Lol, I know! Right! The Australorp Roosters are incredibly beautiful to me too. I wish I could have have one. If this little chick does end up being a rooster, I will have to find another loving home for him.

Sure looks like it is a roo.

Only other way to get around it is release so many chickens all over the neighborhood that nobody can determine which are feral & which you own. Lol. Naturalize them to the area. May work until someone's ring doorbell catches you doing black ops releases.

Btw its just a joke.

Indeed, they do! And I am already in love with him/her. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to have a rooster where I live. I will be devastated if I have to give up this sweet baby.

My vote is also cockerel. That said, he ain't a rooster 'til he crows, so you have lots of time to decide if you wish to process him for your freezer or find him a new home.
Please note, that just because you find him a new home, does not mean that he isn't going to be invited FOR dinner; so keep that in the back of your mind while coming to your decision. You can care for and even love a rooster, and still eat him when the time comes. You'll have the knowledge that every single day of his life was as good as it could possibly be, until the last moment of his last day. There's a lot to be said for that.

I appreciate that perspective, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. And although I do love to eat chicken, I have chosen to have my chickens for egg laying and as pets only, so I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to eat them. Should I have to rehome this sweet chick, I would try my hardest to find a forever home that was looking for pets vs food.

Rehoming sometimes can be pretty tough even giving them away but your only talking one so should be make it easier.

Me? Last year was about 30 or so. Not much choice for me or them.

I can respect your position.
