In my area no chickens are allowed unless they are 'in transit'. I don't know if those words are in your local ordinances, but they may buy you a bit of time, if needed to avoid a fine.
This is very sad. i hope you continue to stay with us though, and teach us and incubate, then sell right...
How about a gang of real bad looking bikers, some holding your chickens in pet carriers, slowly passing by this neighbor's place, then stopping, revving, and glaring at the guy for several minutes?
