I agree, you seem to think they should just shut up and put up..think beyond this childish behaviour," dog vs chicken" ,think about your animals safety first.!!
I'd suggest penning them up or maybe a higher security fence between yours and their yards..a fence would be better than a feud..animals don't know any better, that's up too you..you may have a legal stand but is it worth the safety and health of your birds..
It's your obligation to keep your animals on your property not theirs..fix the problem for your birds not your neighbours..they have a right too, it's their property that's getting damaged, you might find yourself in small claims court for the damage your chickens cause..is it really worth the troubles.? Do you really want to add even more birds just to lose money..some people had rather take their frustrations out on innocent animals, are you prepared for that kind of loss ? Try to figure out a way to keep your birds on your property..it's not your neighbours problem.!! Free range does not include their property..
If you had read the whole thread, you'd see that in post #15, the OP is now claiming that they are the ones who are being kept awake by the rooster and their landscaping has been dug up by the neighbor's chickens, and it's the neighbors that want to start a 500-bird hatchery. OP says they were wanting "to get a general feel for the response of the farming community in general, and specifically the hobbyist or small business owner." It's beneficial to read the whole thread before replying.

I agree with Centrarchid that this is not the place to try to garner support or sympathy for either side. Take it to your local authorities, zoning commission, animal control, county board, or whoever else you can think of if you want to stop them from starting a hatchery, or to change the laws so they can't have a rooster or whatever.
 
Nothing positive can come from this thread. This is a very unfortunate situation however there is too much drama in this thread and to keep the arguing down about this, the curtain is now closed.
