A flaglot neighbor is where the neighbors driveway goes alongside your house and back behind your house. their house usually faces your property. It's called a flaglot because it is shaped like a flag.

We are suburbs , technically county but will be incoorperated into the city of Vancouver by 2020. No i don't think I can put a hedge around it sadly. They never get upset over planes, vehicles, dogs during the day. But i guess in the dark is another thing. She generally seems very nice. I do...

The oldest chicken, the Wyandotte has grown spurs and is one who rules with an iron wing haha. This early morning clucking occurred several yrs after I had her, more within the last 1-2 yrs....maybe she is the culprit...but if i get rid of her, won't someone else replace this rooster role? Hmmm...

I edited post to be more clear. 100% no roosters. All have been egg layers or are currently laying. I've had roosters and this is not a crow. More of a series of loud clucks for a minute or 2. It's in sight of my bedroom window and I do not see predators lurking. It has snowed recently and...

Hello- I need some advice on what to do. About 2 weeks ago my 5 month old black sex link chick was sleeping in eggbox which is unusual. She easily let me pick her up which is also strange. I attempt to place her on roost but she fell off 3 times immediately after I let go. I quarantined her to...

I have close neighbors, one is a flaglot whose bedroom window faces my backyard and chicken coop, the other neighbors bedroom is less than 100 feet away from my coop. I took it off for a few days and he would crow on and off between 3-5am....neighbors not happy to say the least. I had to kill...

Hello all, brand new to BYC. I have a lovely 9 month old french black copper maran rooster. He currently wears a no crow collar. He occssionally gets this foamy spittle coming out of his nostrils and mouth which then gets on his neck/waddle or comb when he shakes it off. He is in healthy...
