Mine just looks at the coop and yard and then hands me my new permit for the year, he writes down how many chickens I told him we had, asks if you have roosters and fills out a grade and thats it.
Later I will get a $5.00 bill from the town for a livestock fee.
Funny story, kinda, anyway we aren't really suppose to have roosters but the deal is if nobody complains the officer doesn't care.
So he looks around the yard at the chickens and says so do you have any roosters?
I actually have two, one never makes a sound, I don't even know what the crow would sound like and the other only crows every once in a great while.
I decided to level with him because I was afraid it would come back to bite me, plus I really like the guy and I would feel bad so I say well actually I do and just then my marans rooster starts crowing.
So I say but he hardly ever crows and none of the neighbors mind they told me they love the sound of roosters, which is actually the truth.
Well he just keeps on crowing and crowing every couple of seconds.
My husband was several feet away and laughing at me as I got all flustered trying to explain that this crowing is really unusual for him, finally the guy goes "let me rephrase the question"
"Do you have any rooster?" I finally catch on and say "no I do not."
He says great here ya go and hands me the permit.
aye aye aye, do you think I have heard that darn rooster crow since?!
