Roosters are not allowed to be kept in yards in the City for exactly this reason. Your neighbor wasn't following the law.

I suspect a lot of folks only know that chickens are legal, but don't know the legal distinction between hens and roosters.

It can also be hard to sex chicks accurately so some may turn into roosters and people don't know what to do.

I feel for those people, but it's one of the many reasons buying chicks isn't a good idea for most.

Let me understand. You got the hen, the chicken, and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So who's having sex with the hen?

They probably have roosters that identify as hens.
