Being a typewriter iMac agrarian, I don’t have experience raising chickens but I do sympathize with Lanz’s point about what is and is not acceptable in suburbia. When I lived in Port Townsend, Washington I remember hearing the occasional rooster crow while walking to work and nobody seemed to mind.
P.S. Is this a great blog or what? You won’t see this subject debated at the Corner.

As one who did raise chickens and a rooster, I can tell you that the crowing was welcomed in the morning. It seemed a natural morning sound. However, there was a time when we had ….uhm…..chronologically impaired roosters who came from New York City, and they’d crow all night long and at the drop of a hat, so to speak. They had to go, go, go.
