I think I might have the best "chicken" neighbor ever. She is a gardening fanatic and is about half deaf. She didn't hear the first rooster I had at all (he was loud enough that the neighbors down the hill heard him) and finally is hearing the very loud giant rooster and loves it! The nest boxes are on the side of the coop facing her house, but she will never hear the hens singing since she is half deaf.
She grows lots of tomatos and things....and throws her 'bad' veggies over the fence for the chickens to eat. She mentioned today how chicken poop is great for the garden. Guess who is going to help me dispose of my chicken poop? I used to keep the chickens all locked up and she wanted to know when they were going to get to be loose in the yard. I think she wanted them to be able to come up to the fence to visit. Which is good since the only fence they seem to fly over is the one on her side (now they had their flight feathers clipped...so far so good).
When I had my horse at home, she used to throw apples over the fence from her tree and would take part of my manure pile for her garden.
She is a winner!
Anyone else have any awesome neighbors? We hear so much about the bad ones that I want to hear about the good ones. My other neighbors aren't bad, they just aren't quite as AWESOME as the 'old lady' next door (ha).
