> In my experience, suburban chickens start out as an “investment,” and wind up as people’s pets. You may be asking your neighbor to shut up his rooster, but to him, it’s probably now a pet.

My brother had two pet chickens. He named them Original Recipe and Extra Crispy.🙂 (No, he never ate them. He just has a sardonic sense of humor.)

I also live in the DC 'burbs although outside the great wall where a neighbor had a rooster, then two, then three. I wasn’t the only one who was tired of the crowing. Fortunately the county has a website where you can file a complaint and magically the problem disappeared then I got a notice that the issue was resolved. The guy gets to keep chickens and a wide assortment of other birds but the roosters are a noise problem.
