I hear chickens. I am happy.

Over the past two weeks or so I have heard chickens making their chicken noises across the bike path from where I live. I like it. Chickens make me happy.
Some neighbor must have scored some chickens.
But I bet it won't take long for some other neighbor to complain. I have no idea what the regulations are out here (California suburbia), But I rarely hear chickens.
I have NOT heard a rooster crowing the coming dawn. That was a part of my experience when I lived in Isla Vista while attending UCSB.
Are there chickens where you live?

Many chickens
One guy down the road keeps them and his roosters are a couple of noisy sods

Chickens wouldn’t bother me at all. I’d just thank the Lord I didn’t have to deal with some rooster, like you mentioned. We had friends who lived in the suburbs with my parents about four miles away, and they had two chickens. I don’t think anyone ever complained. I love chickens.

Just now
No chickens but lots of other birds, such as cardinals and robins and I think I saw a bluejay yesterday. There are others that I can't recognise... wrens and swallows maybe. There's a mourning dove visiting this week.

Yes, there's always one person who can't be happy and has to make waves.

I would not know but I don't think so, Then I checked on the Internet and you'll have to consider moving here if you love chickens.Maybe you could teach Kitty to herd them,
Yes, many people are keeping chickens in Daytona Beach. Backyard chicken keeping is popular in the area, supported by Florida's favorable climate. Residents can find resources and guides to help them start, including local ordinances and tips for beginner

Yes our neighbour has chickens & ducks. I don't mind them so much l quite like to hear them clucking & the ducks the occasional quack. It's one their dogs that has been an absolute nightmare but since my word with them last week twice a day is bearable. In fact the silence is phenominal!
