But be warned: plenty of people still do the stinkeye at my chickens. Some have complained. Even if it's pretty, conservative, designed professionally, landscaped professionally, people sometimes dislike anybody different from themselves, and they will be insulting, belligerent and loud about it.
Even if you built a cathedral for your chickens and handed cash to onlookers, the complainy people will still complain. That's just the way they are.
I have had lovely visitors who like living by chickens, and I have had belligerent complainers who dose out words like "hillbilly", "stink" or "illegal" (its not illegal). I wish I had a better internal filter for negative feedback, but I feel the insults far greater than I feel the compliments. Try not to be like me, OK? Just do like my chicken lovin' neighbor who doses out "...like I care" to nay-sayers. She doesn't care. She just likes her chickens and goes on.
