you can have any kind of animal as long as it’s humanely cared for and doesnt create a nuisance. which is to say- deprives someone of the use of their property, not bugs them.
a lot of ppl have goats and pigs.

i actually just got rid of my roosters and working on getting rid of my hens. i got shit, but i also got a lot of love. admit that my whiny neighbors who couldnt take- yes, she can have roosters- for an answer cost the city a pretty penny. but that’s just how city code enforcement works- the city prosecutes the private grudges of neighbors, for the most part.
but that’s on them.

backyard hens add so much to ppl’s physical and mental health, whatever hassle they bring, they ARE a net positive. if we can make it work here, it can work anywhere.
and btw, there are cities all over the world where there are both kept and feral chickens. roosters are hardly the most annoying birds. have you ever heard peacocks?
