"I am inclined to agree with you... sort of. I like rooster noises, but I will say that my neighbors' roosters often go all day long. It never bothers me, but I'm a couple houses away, I could see how that could really irritate his immedate neighbors…"
"LOL! Yes, I think you're interpreting it correctly, Derrell. HOA rules are often more specific, but they vary. I've heard that some places say, "no farm animals." Last I checked, dogs are pretty common animals on farms. :)"

"Are you looking for just hens? If not, I have a 4month old Delaware rooster. As I am in the city, I am not allowed to keep him. He was hand raised. Very gentle w/humans, although a bit skiddish. He does like being held once he begins to trust…"
