I live next door to a rooster.

I don't know if this rooster will live much longer...

  • Eeek.  I wouldn't handle that well.

  • I grew up hearing a rooster crow from a house a whole street away from our house...so I cannot imagine the joy of having one right next door...you never hear about how roosters do *not* only crow in the morning!
  • Are you in a neighborhood with an HOA? If, so check the rules & regs most do not allow livestock of any kind.

    I had NO idea. I wonder what makes them crow?

    This would piss me off. You have GOT to have an HOA, you are like 3 neighborhoods away from me & ours is super strict!
  • Ditto everyone else about the HOA, they don't allow livestock. About 6 years ago my mom bought a rooster, they live in a farm, that thing was MEAN...she sold it in an auction a few years later after it charged her one too many times. But yes, they make noise all day long.
  • my friend lives over in the heights area where there are still a lot of older non-transitioned homes... she's in a townhome block, but there's a house on the corner of the street with chickens in the yard, and yep, a rooster.  we tease her a lot about learning how to snap a chicken's neck in the event she doesn't want to go out to eat.

    This might come in handy!

    We're joking that this will eventually be the baby's first homemade chicken noodle soup. 

    In all seriousness, I'm pretty mad about it at this point.  Lesson learned: always look through the fence to see what is potentially on the other side. I believe the appropriate people in the chain of command have been contacted.  If not, I'm calling Steven Dean to come do an expose on HOA's who don't enforce the rules.  (that was slightly sarcastic.)

  • with the law change, chickens may not be considered livestock. *but* i know there are pretty strict rules about having chickens in the city. i'm pretty sure you can only have chickens - not roosters.
