The rooster crows at 6;30 every morning and this disturbs people that don’t have to get up that soon. It does’nt seem fair to me.

you will have to check town laws but if they are pets(2-3 chickens) then it isn’t illegal.
if it’s more of a hobby farm(+10 chickens) then that is illegal

Each area has it’s own regulations on raising farm type animals. This is usually covered under Zoning laws.
