Well.....you don't HAVE to do anything. You are free to respond to the inspection with a firm "no" for that item. If you are willing to risk the sale going south due to that of course. Do you have a feeling as to how badly the buyers want your house? Most people do not agree to fix all the things that are noted in an inspection. Usually the inspection "fix list" is more of a "wish list".
Edit to add: You could always contribute to the buyer 50% (or 100%) of the estimated cost for a crew to come haul it out after the sale closes. So that the buyers are the ones who have to deal with scheduling it and all that. You pay, but they do the work on their own timeline instead of a rush job now before you close the deal.
Nope, technically we weren't supposed to have chickens (city said yes, hoa says no-so glad to be rid of the hoa when we move!), and we can't risk this sale tanking because we're set to close on the same day as the other property we're buying and I can't risk jeopardizing that property.
Otherwise, I would consider this.
