hmmm...so some locally farmer will now have stud roosters on call for the special whoopie days.

Crowing at the moon? I think you could have a great buisness there though. I would call it Rent a Roo!

Of course this response was priceless: "The guy said, ‘I just wring their necks,’" Hart recalled. "I told him ‘No, no, no, you can’t tell people that. These people think of their chickens as pets!’" Can you imagine the looks on people's faces?

If they think rooster's only crow when they are around hen's, they've obviously never even seen one!!

Leadership through government........

ETA: Really, it's only good manners if you think about it. Roosters really shouldn't "kiss and tell".

Anybody have an idea what a good "stud fee" would be for a rooster?

See proposed ordinance in above thread (collecting comments on ord in that thread), as well as an article today from a regional paper, reacting to the whole thing. That article is also a must read

kla, thanks for posting about this. How did you hear about it in NC?

I can't think of a more asinine ordinance. These bozos need big red rubber noses to go with their ruling abilities.
