Yes, you may have the right to have 50 roosters in your yard, but if you live in a neighborhood where other houses are nearby, then consideration of your neighbors should always come first. Especially for those who have been there long before you.
I live in a non-HOA neighborhood.
Restrictive covenants address livestock. Zoning also helps.
The only difference? If you move in with roosters or pigs, I can handle it without giving up a lot more to some committee that also is empowered to dictate to me what color I can paint my front door.
HOA? Quite irrelevant to my protections, but not to my freedoms.
I may be apt to get a hunting dog who "oops got out of the fence" if I lived next to that. But yeah after living in both hoa and non hoa I'm pro if it's managed well and isn't a crazy restrictive one.
Penny Woods does not have an HOA. IF Penny Woods had an HOA, that HOA would not have jurisdiction over the use of the adjoining property that is not in the subdivision.
Chicken Ranch is not in Penny Woods.
The roosters meet his zoning requirements, according to the county.
This is why a good agent will research surrounding properties to help the buyer determine what objectionable, to the buyer, potential issues may be in close proximity.

Fair enough - but I still stand that consideration for your neighbors trumps your rights in a neighborhood setting like that.
My question, which was not addressed in the piece, is why do they have so many roosters? Seems odd. Which makes me wonder if they are raised for **** fighting.
^^thats the most puzzling thing to me too. I thought you couldn't have multiple roosters in a coop. Is **** fighting illegal in NC? I would probably report them for that.
