n, actually im in a part of morristown TN and its zoned for agriculture (well might be few feet from my pen and several from my apartment building), and we have cops everywere, but they watch the cockfights and dont seem to care.. so why im getting in trouble and they might still not be (as i heard hardly, then non for small amount of time, now roosters increasing again). just odd as i just yesterday talked to the humane sosciety that said legally you have to have them a hundred feet from another dwelling or property to avoid complaints that have to be answered, but that is not enforced, my manager doesnt care, the cops i asked them to look up the law and make sure what i read was true and legal to them now, and the manager, and neighbors love them (that im told anyway). also theyre mostly bantams which are excluded from most ordinances and classified as pets and not lives stock or game animals, but what was said by manager was stated or complaint was made to get around that specifically, supposedly. so must be someone who knows me or someone here, who as been back to see them, as its out of the way and wouldnt know unless right out back behind my apartment. if itd been a noise or odor or even health complaint about unfounded health risks i could see, but this seems bogus to me... maybe just time to move, but will be hard to with other rescued and my pets, and ditched here in no were town, by ex (i cant drive as legally blind.. lol). am and hav been cutting down numbers, but some added then since.. hehehe as baby chickens, some other breeds added, and given to me. anyone want game chicks? not sure if all of these are lf or bantam, a some lfs are around, and have two game hens. the hard part will be parting with which ones, and cleaning out place to put cages for ones keeping secret squirrel and maybe just let out in yard while here, so if someone complains ill know who to put on my poo list.
though last couple days my hens were super loud when all together laying in the late morning early afternoon, and have differant standard sized game rooster who is loud though, and chicks do get trough fence to chase bugs around between the open field and the woods of horse and game farms. yes, i said my neighbors have horses that hang their heads over the fences and occasionally walk right up here, and you can here them day and night, especially the stallions fighting (well maybe not a farm but alot of horses most of the time ive lived here.
