Hello!
I am also from NY, Staten Island actually. Can I just ask you directly in this post.. We hatched a chick and a rooster in may and now my neighbours are giving me a hard time with a rooster. Apparently he is a criminal for making people know if there is a cat in the yard, or something scary around. So I am looking for a place for him and his lady, they are bonded and they hatched together . They are Rhode Island Red and quite pretty. I love the rooster.. Just sad that the city had these ridiculous rules about no roosters in NYC.
