First off, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I can't imagine going through this with my chickens and goats. I thank my lucky stars that I live in the country and my only neighbors are family and their a 1/4 mile away.
I would think that you could take as many photos as you want as long as it is on your property.
I agree that a game cam would be very benefitial OR even this : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9KOWA8/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have one that I used for watching my goats while at work, you can watch on your phone in real time and snap pictures.
Have you gotten any authorities involved? It seems like this person is unstable and wouldn't have problems hurling rocks at you or your family.
I haven't gotten the authorities involved yet because I am supposed to get our electronic equipment back this Friday. My husband and I went over last night since they would not answer their phone. The husband said he was busy and he would bring it over later. My husband is a softie and thought this would be okay, even though we were inconvenienced by police earlier in the day with the summons, etc. We waited for over 2 hours and then finally called and his wife answered the phone and said her husband would bring our equipment over on Friday. As soon as this is resolved, I may make the hour trip to get to the county and file a complaint about the rock throwing in case things escalate. My chickens are stressed and I am for sure. It's funny, this guy moved here from Maryland and bought up the land here and he actually built my house first in '95, then another and finally the one he resides in. I wish he had researched the zoning first. I have too much invested to move and am worried about what they may do next. I also have an 8,000 gallon koi pond with a dual waterfall that could be tampered with, etc. I need to be cautious.
The officer suggested I get a protective order...not sure about this.
Yes, these rocks could have endangered me or my chickens. My chickens were shut up in their coop, I believe, at the one instance. I don't know about the new rocks I found. I should pursue this and file to make a strong statement that this violence will not be tolerated. I did photograph the rocks lined up on their fence just now.
