Thank you dredt ... The coop is in the middle of eight of our own acres, with no one near them except us...and we're still not very close. The mean neighbor used to have labs who he let run free and we had a puppy out one day
One more think. As a funny side note, my son was at a council meeting where a womans objection to having chickens was...if a person passes out in the coop, that person can be pecked to death by those vicious animals... another man said chickens introduce "gangs" into the neighborhoods, because...
Sorry to take over the thread, but I keep thinking of things. I have a picture of the citation and can upload it to a personal account, but can't figure out how to do it here. I'm completely mobile...no laptop. Also the citation was from ARCHBALD BOROUGH,PA...in case anyone needed that info...

My son and I were just cited for a zoning violation concerning our four hens. They are in the middle of eight acres and don't bother anyone. The Borough is targeting us, because many others who live here have many farm animals. A neighbor who we never got along with, turned us in. My son was in...
