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. I knew one city dweller who briefly kept a couple chickens on a small apartment-building rooftop area they happened to have access to; the chickens there were filthy and unhealthy without access to foraging or clean spaces and they were always fighting with pigeons and each other.
In rural areas of the US it’s more of a thing.
