LOS ANGELES — The chickens have come home to roost for Los Angeles city dwellers who keep roosters.
The City Council on Tuesday passed an ordinance that — with few exceptions — allows only one rooster per property. It was spurred by complaints over noise and hygiene and concerns over illegal cockfighting.
Janice Hahn, who authored the bill, says it will give residents of her district some peace and quiet.

If these cowards would enforce the existing immigration laws, this wouldn’t be necessary.
Wow, your back.
That’s racist as all get out!!!!!! SO, if Juan’s Mexican bred hens are ‘hot to trot’ and good layers, then why can’t Juan have at least 3 roosters...... 2 to service the hens and one to bet on?
....ah, the joys of multi-culturalism!....we have similar things in the Baltimore-Washington area when Muslims started slaughtering goats in their backyards....the shrieks of the goats were making neighborhood children cry....
Oh my, that wouldn’t go down well on my street! My neighbors have several. I always get a chuckle when they take a little hike to my backyard.
Seriously...who needs more than one cock at a time?
Raising one’s own chickens in Los Angeles?
That’s the way it was during the great depression.
We had a neighbor who chicken-wired in his entire back yard. He DID seem to have a rooster surplus . . . .
But they didn't make a lot of noise, really . . . at least not compared to Leona the goat next door, Billy the goat next door on the OTHER side, or the guinea fowl, or . . .
Little bit of country in the city, and we weren't anywhere near Doraville (City of Atlanta, actually, right at the Howell Mill exist on 75 North. It was a funky little neighborhood. I really miss it, just not the city taxes.)
Have you talked with Bwarney???
Thank God! I’ll be able to sleep easy tonight. No more fear of gangs of wild roosters clucking through the streets perpetrating a reign of bother.
And about darn time!
AKA the “one cock per walk” ordinance
From my cold dead hands........
Gotta love it - the whole damn state’s going down the tubes, and the legislature is worrying about ...roosters!
It’s funny as I live in LA in a neighborhood that has, among many other things, many illegals. We have roosters. I kinda like listening to them on weekends. During the week, working in the stock market, I’m up way before the roosters.
Maybe I should honk my horn.
How ‘bout pigs and goats?
Looks like Mr. Pelosi will have to let his significant other go....
We have a bunch of laying hens and a couple of roosters. I love the sound of a rooster crowing. It reminds me of when I was a boy.
If L.A. wasn’t an illegal alien gheto the new law would have been NO ROOSTERS ALLOWED!
I have to comment on this. Crack cocaine is being sold on every street corner, a white person can’t go into parts of town without being shot or beat up, illegal immigrants sprawl all over the place, they can’t pay their bills, but the pass a bill limiting the number of ROOSTERS per household. May God have mercy on our souls. What fools these mortals be!
Far worse than a barking dog.
One rooster is too many.
Most cities permit NO roosters per property. Chickens aren’t a problem, but roosters have this unpleasant habit of waking up before dawn and sounding off. We have a lot of chickens wandering around here in the town where I live in Florida, but every so often the city gathers up the roosters and takes them away.
I guess the hens miss them for awhile...
Better way to stop cockfighting:
“LA passes law limiting illegals to 1 per household.”
THAT would really shake things up down there.
Well there was this girl I used to date....
At least they can still say “A chicken in every pot”.
When I lived in town(Fresno), we had some asian neighbors behind us who had chickens and roosters. I kinda enjoy hearing them crow in the mornings. When we first moved in, my son, who was about 3 at the time, came in saying, “the chickens over there are yelling.”
How many roosters does one need?
Had a farm, roosters are only good for crowing before the sun comes up....hens give you eggs...they don’t need to be fertilized...the idea of eating fertilized eggs if gross,
yep....
LOL! Reminds me of the neighborhood where I sometimes buy gas.
