In most suburban areas of the US your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate the smell of chicken poo wafting into their yards, and if you have a rooster you’re definitely making enemies of your neighbors who don’t appreciate the unsolicited wakeup call at silly o’clock AM every day.
In cities it’d be very difficult to find the space to do any of it.
