Don't be surprised if your chickens don't like the sand for dusting. In your situation with them being indoor is probably fine. You may opt to take them confined outdoors and let them dust bathe there.
The more you have the more you find they all have their own personalities. That may be why an experienced breeder takes personality into account when selecting their breeding stock, not just looks and production (depending on breeding goals).
We live in the city so we chose hens but ended up with a rooster anyways, the neighbors have never complained but we’d happily rehome him if they ever did. There’s another rooster nearby so I’m guessing everyone’s used to them crowing but I still feel guilty on days where he crows earlier than usual.
I try not to go against the poultry regulations but just FYI City of Mesa won't even respond to burglaries under $1000. So unless your in a hi-class area (I'm not) then I doubt the City or Animal Control will show up anytime soon. I hear roosters and have seen guineas in my NW Mesa neighborhood. Dogs are more annoying with loud obnoxious barking, also loose dogs (which Animal Control rarely will come out to get unless you already have it contained for them or unless it is actively attacking someone - they actually told me this after I had to run home from a loose dog coming after me and my dog).
I’ve seen some no crow collars but I’m too doubtful to try them out. Unfortunately, we’d probably have to cull our rooster if the city ever got involved and we couldn’t rehome.
IF they ever do show up (and they could, just not very likely) then just be prepared to find another home for them.
We need to be prepared to cross that bridge if we come to it. For now I just try to abide by the regulations and make nice with neighbors whenever possible.
