This is what animal control calls a neighborhood spitting war. (edited for public eyes)You can't afford a couple hundred dollars to fence off even 2 acres for the chickens and dogs to roam? What is the value of the eggs that aren't going to be laid now? What happens when you kill his dog, and he gets mad that you are letting your dogs free roam your property (And presumably, his) and he calls the animal control, and they impound all of your free range animals? What do you think that will cost to get everything back? What happens when someone claims your dog bit them and they sue you? Just the time off to go to court to defend yourself can be expensive.
200 dollars to fence off your property, or part of it, is very cheap insurance.
