No roosters is a good Idea. Othe city council should reconsider this. Visalia is a Rural city. Even with its growth. I think 3 0r 5 chickens should be allowed in Visalia backyards.

In this case, providing humane living conditions for a pet/animal that provides you food. I agree there should be limit on how many, but keeping chickens should definitely be allowed.

Chickens (not roosters) can have a minimal impact in a back yard and provide a cheap food source. Also, they are great 4H and FFA projects. I hope the city will allow the change in the local law.
