You can definitely hear roosters from various parts of JC in the morning. So someone's got birds in their backyard. Likely more than one.

I don't think there's any enforcement. There's meetups of urban dwellers who do it in Brooklyn (not sure the legality there). It's been a hipster thing for years.

The lack of enforcement does not mean that it is legal. In JC, keeping poultry is definitely much more regulated than in NYC. The regulations in NYC with regards to chicken are quite lenient: there are no restrictions on quantity or space/distance (except for poultry markets, which must keep 25 feet) - the only restriction in NYC is no roosters. As for other poultry, duck and geese are not allowed. Compare that to JC, which has regulations dictating distance restrictions, amount of chicken that can be kept, and licensing requirements. But, of course, this being JC, there is ZERO enforcement, so there’s that.
