Welcome, I'm sure you will be able to place your boyz locally. Egg type roosters are not generally used for Sunday dinner, but they may be used as training aides for fighting. I would place them carefully. I found a little bit of the Animal Ordinances for chickens.

• DIVISION 6. - ANIMALS IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS​

  • ​

  • Sec. 20-885. - Purpose.​

    
    
    (a)
    It is the intent of this division to permit certain uses in residential zoning districts which involve the keeping of limited numbers of domestic animals or pets where it is recognized that such areas are changing from agricultural to suburban residential in character.
    (b)
    This division is further intended to minimize problems which may arise from such animal uses and to provide suitable standards for protection of health, safety, welfare and preservation of residential zoning districts from indiscriminate raising of animals.
    (c)
    These restrictions apply to districts R-1, R-2 and R-3 and shall be subject to all state and local health codes.
    (Ord. of 7-13-1999(02), art. XVIII, § 18-8(a))

  • Sec. 20-886. - Uses permitted.​

    
    
    (a)
    Horses, cows, pigs, ponies, donkeys and other domestic livestock may be kept, raised or bred for home use and enjoyment provided that only one such animal shall be permitted for each 15,000 square feet of land area and shall be adequately contained within the property.
    (b)
    Cats, dogs, rabbits or other generally recognized domestic pets may be kept or bred by persons residing on the property for their use and enjoyment.
    (c)
    Ducks, quail, chickens, turkeys, squabs, pheasants, etc. may be raised for home use provided such fowl are adequately contained within that property.
    (d)
    These permitted use provisions for animals in residential areas are meant to apply outside of the residence on an individual lot and are not intended to restrict the type or number of animals within a residence.
    (e)
    Notwithstanding any provision in this division to the contrary, buildings or other structures which are located in residential districts and are used to accommodate or restrain animals specified in this division shall be located no less than 50 feet from all property lines.
    (Ord. of 7-13-1999(02), art. XVIII, § 18-8(b))

  • Sec. 20-887. - Uses prohibited.​

    ​

    ​

    
    The keeping, breeding or training of any animals or fowl for monetary gain or profit shall be deemed a commercial business and is expressly prohibited in all residential districts except where such operations may qualify as a home occupation.
    (Ord. of 7-13-1999(02), art. XVIII, § 18-8(c))
    Secs. 20-703—20-732. - Reserved.

Thanks for the extra information. I am trying to be a good neighbor by not introducing roosters. They’re fine with hens but would likely kick up a fuss if I tried to keep either of the roos.

Hi everyone! I'm from a little bitty town between Statesboro, GA & Augusta, GA. I'm a mini crazy chicken lady. All the tractor supply's in the surrounding counties have been so out of stock with chicks recently and it's been super disappointing. But I've found a place in Statesboro that gets regular shipments in and they have a decent variety. Anderson's General Store in Statesboro if anyone is looking!

Okay y'all, I'm selling my 19 straight run Dark Cornish Started chicks. DOH 3/11/2025 they are 34 days today. Top 6 heaviest are around 1 pound, lightest .73 pounds yesterday. I do not have a current NPIP number since I just got back into chickens. These are NPIP chicks from Murray McMurray. They would need to be picked up, I presently cannot ship. I would take $15.00 each.
