Rooster on the loose?

Although this does not pertain to development, crime, politics, or, really, any other topic that I can identify, I enjoyed reading multiple descriptions posted to both OWD and Watts-Hillandale listservs about a wayward rooster in the neighborhood. As of yesterday, he was spotted roaming around 1000 block of Iredell St. I enjoy a 4:00 a.m. rooster wake-up call just as much as the other person, but it reminds of the fairly recent change in Durham ordinance allowing our locavore residents to raise hens (Section 6, part 5.4.12 B, on page 6), but not roosters. But one gets lonely, I suppose.

Check out this overview of Chicken Laws in North Carolina, with the special shout-out to Durham for its comprehensive and well-designed regulations. Now, only if Roosters could read legalese...
