Neighbor threatening to trap birds

Invite the school marching band over to have band camp.
it's good for the horses and promises to be entertaining when she loses her manure.

I am sorry to hear you are in the country and yet have a nasty piece of work neighbor still.

Electric fences are heaven send!

only talk with that woman when you have witnesses.

I love the invite the high school band over for practice! But that will not promote peace and end the feud!

You said you had horses? I would probably start taking the manure and start putting it in brown paper bags…

To what are you referring?

For an attorney to be able to do anything - but the harassment this nosy neighbor is causing is beyond the pail.

pretty much made tongue in cheek.

In reality it does not really matter.
The OP might as well plant a large blackberry hedge by the road.
And I doubt that will pacify the nosy neighbor.

People like her neighbors are never happy

I would suggest Multi-floral rose instead of blackberries. It gets much higher, Is stickier, harder to get thru and without goats next to impossible to kill.

multiflora rose is all of that, and no longer to be planted in Michigan, as it's an incredibly invasive plant! Ask me about it on our property...

I would try training them inside a temporary fence at the barn before investing in a fence around the road. If your flocks never been contained to a run and sleep in a barn they're going to be harder to train to a fence. Clipping one wing discourages flying.

An automatic feeder that can dispense treats on a timer (chicken scratch) would motivate the chickens to stay near the barn rather than the house (close to the road).You may need a fence between the house and barn to keep them on the back of your property.
