Cock-a-doodle-doo! Roosters face sex-discrimination in Hayden, Idaho

Janna

Talk about not being PC. Being from Mars, I would have to object to the male species being excluded. The $64 question, how does one make chicks without the male involved. If it is possible, you can tell I am not a farm boy. :-)) Found your post through your making Patricia's top 10 list. Congrats and cheers cvc

What about the existing roosters?  Are they going to the big cast iron skillet in the sky??  And I wish I could "thumb's up" Fernando's Foghorn Leghorn comment.  Hilarious!

Hey, Janna!  I included this post in Last Week's Favorites.  Have a great week.

Well now, that's just sad!  We have feral chickens here in Fair Oaks CA, and they roam all over the village.  Our roosters don't limit their crowing to early morning - they crow off and on all day and early evening, but no one would dare to suggest outlawing them.  Our Fair Oaks chickens are famous!

Quite an amusing little story, but definitely not something I would read in our local paper. 

Janna, not only an issues for the 'girls', but also there goes the 'we can get fresh eggs in our own yard' theory

I can't believe this. This seems so far fetched to me. There again different strokes for different folks.

We have similar laws, but I never thought that is was sex discrimation!  Too funny!  

Jana:

That law is against nature.  Those poor hens now with out their guys.  That is unfair to the hens and the roosters.

I love roosters. To me their cock a doodling becomes background noise, like the surf or wind. There aren't any around here, but I fondly remember them when we're visiting Kauai. I actually look forward to them waking me up.

Sorry the roosters have been banned but those are some fancy digs for the hens in the neighborhood.

Janna - How could I not stop by and read this after seeing your title?

It seems overstepping if they only get the occasional complaint.

Where does the city council think little chickens come from? The grocery store? Funny post.

Janna, I think the Hayden City council members may all need to have their meds adjusted.  This is crazy.  I certainly hope the Roosters who currently reside there will be able to live out their natural life.  It would not surprise me if the council members decide to do away with them. 

My town also allows chickens but not roosters, and they cite the noise as the reason. However, if they were really concerned about noise, they'd have to get rid of the dogs.

I totally agree with Foghorn Leghorn.  I say, I say, I say the government really needs to get them some business.

Thanks for sharing this Janna, I like the picture of the chicken coop, and the comments are priceless too.

Janna -- I guess the Hayden City Council will not want to vacation on Kauai then, as there are chickens (including roosters) running free all over the island (that  is what happens when a hurricane comes through and knocks things over.)

Hello Janna,

Wait until Washington gets wind of this discrimination...I can just see the bill winging its way through the Halls of Justice to rectify this now (LOL).
