We've done so much to make the coop pretty and keep the run consealed. Our yard is clean (maybe the grass only gets cut once a week) and my chickens don't bother anyone. There is no sort of an eye-sore on our property. He was offended by *seeing* chickens. Nothing more, nothing less.
I do need to ask, though - what makes me give chicken owners a bad rap? (I only ask because the last thing I want to do is be a bad rap.)

You cut your grass once a week?!!
I only cut my every two weeks...about 3 acres of bahia and ???....I claim my yard is an Auburn Experimental Station...it's full of just about everything.
It sounds like you're doing fine with your yard and chickens, the only problem I see is a relationship problem with the neighbor. If the neighbor speaks ill of "chicken owners" because of you, those people he speaks to probably know him and will consider the source (him). Don't sweat it.
