Quoted from KozMckPinball:I think you need a permit in some towns to have a rooster. Mostly for the noise.
We’re not allowed a rooster, but we needed a permit for our hens. Was easy, wanted to be legal in case someone complained.
But we’re urban chicken farmers, not in a rural area with a decent amount of land between us and neighbors.
I like having chickens, but now that my kids are older, one in college one in high school, I think we’re done after this run of birds.
