So I've been curious for awhile now -
Code enforcement says I can have chickens, but no roosters. When I asked them for the city ordinance or law that said this they said there isn't one, that they enforce it under disturbing the peace. I've looked through the city codes many many times and it doesn't say anything about roosters or chicken noises. Obviously disturbing the peace would put it under this, but what makes my brain itch is It specifically talks about dog noises in the city code. I live in an area where in any 10 minute period there is a dog within 3 blocks barking non stop very loudly from 12am-11:59pm everyday and you can hear it clear as day...
Now to the question..
Would you risk this for a rooster? I have 1/3 of an acre (I know it's not that big) but it's not like neighbors are right next to me..
I really want to be able to have a rooster to be sustainable. I'm zoned for residential with animals... The city code doesn't clearly specify what this means or include a list of animals you can't have other then pigs and exotic animals...
Any input would be nice..
