Kent City Council considers banning roosters after noise complaints

May 13, 2021, 1:47 PM

The city of Kent was considering banning roosters after people complained they made too much noise.

The city council met earlier this week and discussed the ban, but decided it wanted more information before making a final decision.

City workers claim the ban would be difficult to enforce, according to the Kent Reporter.

It’s legal to own chickens in Seattle, but they’re bad neighbors

If the ban is approved a later date, owners would have 30 days to get rid of their roosters.
