My brother talked about doing that, but nothing ever came of it. Might want to talk to your neighbors and casually mention it to see if they'll be understanding or not......just as a courtesy.

Unfortunately, I live in an HOA, so, that is not an option for me. But, only the rooster is "noisy", so, if that was a concern, you could have only hens and still have plenty of eggs..
First morning we were in our new home we were awakened to a rooster crowing. I loved it. We have a farm across the road. You need to have a fence if you are planning to do this. Chickens don't usually wander far. We are allowed one animal per acre, so you might want to check your deed restrictions. It could be a pet chicken and yes you can have eggs without a rooster. You can't have baby chicks hatch without a rooster.
I grew up on a small farm and fresh eggs beat the store bought eggs in flavor. Same thing for tomatoes and cucumbers and most anything else.
Not that uncommon in my neck of the woods. We're in UC, outside of MonroeCity limits. For the moment at least, we are still surrounded by gorgeous farm land and traditional neighborhoods.
Chickens are neat to raise. Cleaning out their coops takes a strong stomach and a good back to do all the shoveling. The side benefit is chicken manure makes the best fertilizer when composted.
I guess a person could borrow a rooster every so often in one wants chicks to hatch, LOL.

I guess I watched too many cartoons with the rooster crowing once and that's it! When I was in grad school in KY, I learned the truth - they never shut up. If I had a rooster crowing all night long by me, it would soon become a "roaster"!
My son has a small chicken farm outside of Monroe. He has just found a new breed of tiny little chickens that he will be selling down the road for pets. They are the cutest things!
