Chickens. Fine. In my experience most people with chickens also have a rooster. If you own a rooster and live in close proximity to anyone, you’re an asshole.
More chickens!

As someone with a chicken, rooster, guinea fowl, and a turkey. The rooster is necessary for hawk and eagle related reasons, turkey sure as shit isn’t gonna do anything and the guinea are bitches.

maybe a few geese? (from what I’ve read)

You gotta have a cock to cock block hawks

Yep. This was a neighbor’s rooster until their dog got off his leash and ate him.

Friends of my wife have chickens they raised from chicks. Only it’s very hard to sex chicks and three of them grew up to be roosters. They eventually found someone out in the deep countryside who was willing to take them in as pets instead of chicken dinners. Until that time (which took nearly a year), they relied on anti-crow collars they found on Amazon - which seemed to half-strangle the roosters but didn’t do much to discourage noise.
My wife hates that I still refer to them as the rooster gimps.

Same can be said for anyone with a outside dog.
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Yeah that shits way louder than a rooster.
I usually just tune it out though. My neighbor has a loud dog that always barks when I go in my back yard lol. It’s my yard bitch

Reminds me of the time I forgot to remove a pocket knife from my keys before going through airport security…
Staff member holds it up, I notice it and am like “oh no, that’s not allowed, right? oh well, then throw it away, I forgot about it…” - staff proceeds to measure the blade length and tell me “no, it’s ok, that’s allowed” and hands it back to me. I still have that pocket knife now, but don’t intend to try that again.

I have this thing called a utili-key, which is a 6-in-1 multitool that folds up into the shape of a key. I’ve flown with it numerous times, TSA never even had a clue it was on my keyring. I went to one fucking Philadelphia 76ers game and they confiscated it. Perfectly encapsulates TSA.

Life pro tip: save this gif. It’s great to use in situations like “good morning” or “can chicken legally carry coffee?”

As someone with over 50, and hatching more this week, no it isn’t.
Well, it isn’t when you have 14 acres…

I had 30 hens as a kid. No rooster. It took some daily upkeep for sure but it wasn’t that much work. They laid well and I made decent money at it.

(Me living in a 900 sqft rental with three kids… ) hmmm I can raise chickens.

It’s fun until you wind up with a rooster that has made it his life’s mission attacking you. Those spurs fucking hurt.

How much does a fuck ton actually weight? Is it more or less than a regular ton? Or is it a ton of fucks? How does one even gather a ton of fucks? Are fucks stackable like in a pallet? Do all fucks weigh the same?
So many questions.
Cheems@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
That’s like 100# of chicken they definitely don’t weigh that much
regdog@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Even less if they flap their wings

This still plays in my head on at least a weekly basis. Often randomly but mostly every time I see a large group of any kind of bird.

Then you have to ask what other animals are allowed? I could do with borrowing a goat to mow the grass in my garden and clear up the weeds around my allotment.
Zwiebel@feddit.org 15 hours ago
Or a cute sheep :D
Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 hours ago
Sorry. City ordinance only allows ugly sheep.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 13 hours ago
Pretty sure goats are more useful for eating weeds compared to sheep who are too fussy to eat things like brambles.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
There’s a guy in my town who keeps a herd of goats and rents them out for brush clearance. I assume his neighbors hate it but there seems to be nothing they can do about it. I’ve been meaning to ask him if he sells goat meat.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
A couple of my neighbors have chickens here in suburbia, and there’s at least one rooster around. I don’t complain because I’m old and up at dawn anyway.
Much better than my neighbor’s dog that barked at me viciously whenever I went in my backyard. Call me whatever you want, but I’m glad that dog finally died.
Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I have lived next door to chickens, which is fine, but roosters? Those fuckers start screaming at 4 a.m., no joke. It’s a lot louder than you imagine.
So, if your rooster turns up dead, you have been warned
RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
No one wants a rooster anyways. They suck lol
TheFrirish@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 hours ago
In the Philippines roosters are permanently broken and mostly roost at night including in the middle of Manila because the use them for fighting.
Kenny2999@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Next step is to buy 25 roosters and thick bedroom windows.
brem@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Extra points for guinea fowl. (They are EXTRA loud)
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
We had turkeys for a bit, and one of them we named Thanksgiving because holy fuck it would NEVER SHUT THE FUCK UP! It would just scream into the void all day.
WalleyeWarrior@midwest.social 11 hours ago
My town allows chickens but doesn’t allow roosters in city limits, and I assume most towns are that way so I would be cautious there
brem@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Exactly.
Nothing is stopping me from calling my neighbours & telling them that I think their goat is in my garden.
No matter how many times they tell me they don’t have a goat, there’s no proof that I can’t assume whatever goat that’s in my garden isn’t theirs regardless of status or reality of said goat or garden.

L about to have 25 roosters.
brown567@sh.itjust.works 14 hours ago
My city doesn’t allow roosters =(
That being said, I hear one every morning and won’t tell because:
- Momma ain’t raised no snitch
- I like chickens =)

Interesting, so there’s no way to like produce Chicken continually legally.

The downside of living in the city with chickens is the smell and noise, but the chickens will just have to get used to it. ~ paraphrasing Sir Terry Pratchett.

Best Pratchett to ever preach it.
