"roosters should not be allowed"

Why? We have a rooster. He protects the hens. He crows in the morning, just like dogs bark, and F-250s rev past the neighborhood road. Where do you think chickens come from in the first place?

It's just another small step to say "hens should not be allowed"



> Why?

Because I have a right to sleep peacefully in the morning until a certain time. Just like I cannot host loud dance parties at 2AM on a Saturday or start mowing my lawn at 6AM on a Sunday. For people to coexist peacefully in a society, there have to be reasonable boundaries.

> just like dogs bark...

And that's not allowed either. Check out answers at https://www.reddit.com/r/Georgia/comments/17kpm52/barking_do... or https://www.reddit.com/r/homeowners/comments/13r23zc/would_i...


Protects them from what may I ask? I live in a city where chickens are permitted, and my neighbors chickens are all roaming the streets free-range, and their greatest danger is cars which roosters can't stop.


I'd imagine cats would be an issue unless you live somewhere that just has no (outdoor) cats.


Cats

Hawks

Possum

Racoon

Coyote

Etc.


And rats and mice, which eat eggs. Roosters have been known to hunt them. They then parcel out the meat to their harem.
