I thought I heard a roosters when walking past some houses in the California Hills section. I don't mind the sound, but, then again, it wasn't at 5:00 a.m. I was kind of surprised because I didn't think those yards were very big and you are supposed to keep them something like 20 feet from any property line, not that I'd bust a neighbor for that, unless they didn't keep things sanitary.
When we had chickens I went to a place where they sexed them to make sure we didn't get a rooster. We get along great with our neighbors and I wanted to keep it that way. Plus, the only reason we wanted them was for eggs. Roosters aren't so good at that.
Good luck. If it helps any, roosters aren't very bright and usually don't live too long anyway.

The Folsom Municipal Code only mentions chickens, not roosters.
a rooster is a male chicken.

Thanks.
The Folsom Municipal Code doesn't specifically exclude roosters from what I read.
Better?

Roosters don't lay eggs.Maybe they will bring you over some fresh eggs once they get settled in.

Yes, thats what we did....It worked for a while but the rooster figured how to open up his hatch, before I knew it, he would be roaming around our backyard and start crowing about 5:30 ish. Im sure it bothered our neighbors, who are our friends, they said they didnt mind.....We gave our chickens to a friend who lives on a farm.Some people control the rooster crowing thing by locking their rooster into a dark enclosure until the time of day that it is ok to crow, like- 7am. I have seen people coop their roosters in dog houses with the door closed for this purpose.
