Well now, i'm not taking sides at all. But the article mentions she is on a quarter acre lot in a residential neighborhood. .25 acres is 10,890sf, which is not a lot of space. And she just had 12 roosters carted off for processing (plus roosters left on her property).
i'm all for everyone having the right to do what they want, own chickens, run a business, etc. But she may want to consider moving to an area where she has room to run her business, in an area zoned to allow poultry.
From what i read, it didn't sound like she is a person just raising a couple chickens for show or personal needs, she has 100+ chickens on a small residential lot. Somewhere in all of that, the neighbors need to be taken into consideration.
When we first got chickens we were on .17 acres and zoned for hens only with set-back requirements. We only had a few chickens and i worked very hard to keep them quiet and their pens clean. Now on .5 acres, we can have whatever we want. But i still do not want to distress my neighbors, so the loudest rooster sleeps in our shed at night and i bolt out of bed in the morning when they all fuss to get out of their coops.
i don't know . . . but it sounds like there needs to be some compromise and understanding on both sides of this particular issue.
