Sorry about your Roo's Ron ; Have you checked for a loop hole? if the ordnance is for F*&^%$^& purposes they may have left off something that would allow for breeding or homesteading purposes. The police in-force the law but do not always read them for loop holes.

Love the Goose story!

Very nice show girls! do they need special attention for cold? The leg feathering is amazing!

Here's a thought.

No crow collar.

I also wonder if you could look into a endangered chicken breed and permit for Scientific purposes.

I've read people having their roo's choking to death with the collars, you need to monitor them closely.

But personally, I've always wondered about how people are surprised to find that there is some sort of law in place regulating against whatever they're doing. When we got the chickens we first started by reading up on everything that regulates keeping them. And same with most undertakings. I always hate being wrong in arguments, so I educate myself in a subject before undertaking it, that way I can quote legal text if someone complains about what I'm doing. Then again, Finns and Americans are two very different people in that sense. An American is often outraged that there is a law regulating something, stripping away their individual rights, while Finns tend to accept that if there is a law about something, it has probably been put in place with regard to the wellbeing of the collective in mind.

The rooster ban that Ron mentioned is a good example, makes perfect sense to me if that certain "sport" has actually been a problem.

Good Morning Everyone.

Sorry Vehve I disagree.


Bans put in place to stop criminals only hurt the law abiding citizens of the community.
There are in fact already laws in place to stop such things. If they were in-forced properly no bans would be needed.

I agree its like anything else. No roosters do to the Sport " which will not be named here " well that doesn't stop the sport.
People just bring in the roosters from a few miles down the road.
Or gun control. Banning guns does not keep people from shooting people since many times those guns are illegal . it just keeps people from protecting themselves

I will be quiet now

I once lived in a place with pretty severe chicken restrictions: No more than 3, written permission from everyone within 100 yards, prooperty line placement restrictions and no roosters, which were illegal within the city limits. I had the blessings of all nearby neighbors, the Zoning folks, Animal Control....and then one person 99 yards away nixed the project out of spite.

THEN my next-door neighbors got an Easter chick for his kids which grew into a roo whose coop was located 15 feet from where I lay my head at night. Sure, put it in the backyard next to the property wall where no one will see it. They couldn't hear the thing because their bedrooms were on the far side of the property. The kicker is the thing would crow and crow and crow and all the nearby neighbors would give *me* dirty looks thinking I was keeping a forbidden roo. After all, I was the registered and petitioned chicken keeper. Anyway, after a full moon and a night of incessant cockadoodling the bird had to go.

So, yes, I can definitely understand the why of "No Rooster" ordinances, especially in areas with population densities. They are louder than you think.
