Semi-rural lifestyle takes a hit

Measure to limit roosters in parts of California city passes; one of several ballot measures

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Rooster owners here will have to silence their flocks. A local ballot measure seeking to stifle round-the-clock cock-a-doodle-dooing and prevent cockfighting won by a more than 2-1 margin Tuesday. ... The rooster measure in Riverside, a rapidly growing city about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, limits residents in certain areas to seven roosters per property, instead of the 50 birds now allowed. The ordinance also requires that birds be confined to an "acoustical structure" at least 100 feet from neighbors from sunrise to sunset.
