I live in a new urban subdivision called wetherstone, a couple of my neighbors already have roosters, not to mention the barking dogs all over the place, but worse noise around here is the veiicles racing around, they sit at stop signs racing their engines trying to see who has the loudest, then they love to spin their tires leaving black rubber tire prints all over the neighborhood, they love seeing who can make the largest cloud of smoke from burning their tires up with their clutches and brakes, I have already almost been in a couple of fights. calling these young Hispanics out, if ICE came out here they could probably find at least 10 or more illegals.

Not allowing roosters risks the safety of people's flocks.

Flocks with roosters have a better social order and tend to have happier hens. Roosters will keep order in the flock, forage and locate food for their hens, protect their flock, and even help them to find locations to lay their eggs. While some may select to have a flock without a rooster due to its noise and aggressive behavior, it is important to note that hens can be just as aggressive. In the absence of a rooster, one of the hens will naturally take on the role of the rooster and the leader of the flock.
Roosters are born with a natural instinct to protect their flock. These guardians of the flock are more alert than their hens, always on alert and taking a high position to scan the skies and surroundings for predators. Their crowing warns their flock of any dangers.
Having a rooster can lead to happier hens. They will forage and locate food and call to their hens to alert them it’s time to eat, then they stand guard while the flock eats. A rooster only crows to signal danger or call it’s flock, and is no more annoying than dogs who bark all day or cars.

I just moved here. I’ve been breeding Silkies for about 3 years now. I’m currently having to downsize my flock and it’s the absolute worst thing I’ve had to do in a while. My roosters are the sweetest. I get that you don’t need multiples, but the thought of no more littles just breaks my heart. No more flock swaps to change someone else’s life for the better with baby chicks. No more soothing sounds from my roos. It’s sad. I feel a flock should be allowed one rooster. It’s the cheapest way to get more hens, and has allowed me a little income to put towards feeding them.

Raising chickens with the price of food is pertinent to having roosters. Please change this outdated rule.

I love the sound of roosters crowing, and they are safer to have as bug and pest control than pesticides
