Rooster in Pinellas county FL

[Chicken_tiger_catt]

Ok so... When my wife brought home chickens, they were all supposed to be hens. Well... One turned out to be a rooster. I know in Pinellas we are not allowed to have a rooster. I'm guessing it's because of the crowing.
So my rooster has fought off a stray cat that tryed to kill my hens, my rooster has also got one of my hens to come home (she can fly as high as roofs).

So having to give up the rooster, there goes there protection, getting them home if/when they get away. Also this is the sweetest rooster and chicken (like a puppy he just follows you around) I've had or been around (it's a lot of roosters and hundreds of hens I've been around)

OK so I'm diagnosed with autism, adhd, depression, anxiety, and so on. To give up my bird will kill me, it provides me with comfort for all items above. Few things make me happy but my chickens and especially my roo.

Sorry for the rant. So far neighbors are cool with him but idk how long that will last.

Can I get my rooster certified as a service animal? I know it sounds silly but it really helps the autism, adhd and depression.

I don't know about "service animals", but I have a relative who lives in a town where there is an ordinance against chickens................. she has 3 "emotional support fowl".

Rant on brother! Try to get that guy classified as a service animal, really. If he helps you out, go for it. Roll with that mindset like " I'm not okay until this dude is registered as my service animal". Stay positive and try every avenue you can. Peace

Sorry, but birds wont qualify as service animals. i cant imagine having to give up a rooster like that!(your very lucky to have one like that!!!) If you do end up having to give him away, talk to somebody in your area, that will love him on this forum!!

That is actually not true, all sort of animals can be ESA. (Peacocks, Snakes, pigs, goats, turtles, monkeys, etc.)
