Depends on where you live.
“Rooster ordinances” are cropping up in various municipalities. As owning chickens becomes more common, so too grows the nuisance of neighborhood roosters. Some areas are adding roosters to ordinances that used to address only barking dogs.
If you have a neighborhood rooster problem, think about contacting your city council representative.
