Still, it’s not unheard of to hear roosters making their dawn announcement on the peninsula. Penny Patton kept a rooster/hen pair in her Gibbes Street lawn for 14 years, just down the street from Mayor Joe Riley’s house.

Andrew, a manager at Blackbaud, graduated from Clemson with degrees in accounting and poultry science. His plans to farm gave way to a desk job and family, but he stays balanced through his home operation.

Most downtown chicken owners stick with hens; they’re quieter than roosters. “I have enough trouble with all the college kids around me without adding a rooster to the mix,” says one peninsula chicken owner. Another downtown owner who has kept a rooster claims that she’s heard others responding when hers called in the mornings. The Tractor Supply store in Ravenel says they’ve sold more chicks to Charleston residents this year than ever before.

“It’s amazing how many people have started raising chickens,” says Payne, who sells hens through Craigslist. “The birds become an extension of the family. People get really attached. Sometimes, they’re a reflection of the owner.”

According to employees working at the site, two trucks got stuck
in the mud on the side of the interstate Friday morning while
trying to maneuver around the wreck. The incidents created even
more of a mess for crews to clean up.

If all this chicken bawking has you ready to rush out and fill your backyard with feathered friends, just remember: You’re adding a daily responsibility to your schedule. These birds require love and care, and if you treat them properly, you’ll spend more on them than you would buying eggs at the store.
