Our neighbours also have an easement, we built our fence, put up a gap with a hot wire, and according to our agreement we both have the right to go though. Check the paperwork.
If your neighbour/state allows it is probably legal, if that is the wording in the easement.
As far as your chicken and your yard...maybe try to be a good neighbour!
My easement is for the county tile only. The drainage board and I have a good relationship. We go out of our way to try and help them because of the stories I have heard about the previous owner and threatening the poor workers with guns. In return they are going to help us when they tear up our pasture. They are going to reset all the posts that come out. They don't have to but he offered.
As to the neighbor than ran over the hen in my yard... he lives 2 miles away and he was 30' in front of my house. The road is 100' in front of the house. No excuses. That would be like me seeing a mud puddle in his yard and taking my truck over to have fun.
Right there the neighbors have no right to use that easement. Are there any signs that say for County Tile use only? I know in RI and CT if there is an easement on someone's property there are signs that say for use by such and such only.

Ours is only mentioned on the the paperwork when we purchased the house. As you drive by it looks like a normal plot of land in farm country. (Other than a huge hole in our field with bright orange snow fence around it). We have a farm field behind us, across from us, and a field between the north and south neighbors. The north neighbor is the fire station. The south neighbor is an old couple. Their house is about 400 feet from the property line. The only issue we have with them is they feel they should dictate what we do on our land. In terms of the easement it MAY be an issue this summer because he will have to redo his drainage tile from his basement and he doesn't want to connect it where we wet up for it. Nothin you can do with cranky old sticks in the mud except grin and bear it. I could have a worse neighbor. They are good people. The wife is really nice and the cranky husband... well you let them spout off and ignore it. IF he aggrivates me then I go vent. He is old and stuck in his ways and believes he knows more than a young pup does. Lol he doesn't complain when I run down and help him up his wheelchair ramp when he gets stuck.
I just wish the OP Rammys situation was so easily solved.
I just thought of something... how often do you have to place the No Trespassing signs in the OPs state?

Yeah, from what I read, the only question Rammy asked was "Is there any legal recourse to stop this?" Not "What are your opinions on me having a problem with my neighbor?" I second what KristyHall said. It's a section of the forum well known for people venting about these types of issues. I also don't understand telling Lifesong Farm that he/she should be a "good neighbor" when their 7 years old's chicken was killed due to marauding trespassers. There's no evidence that he/she was ever a bad neighbor. That just seemed kind of cold.
Ditto.. no need for it at all.
I got the same sort of response from HHF on my thread about the bomb in the Fed. Building..

Life is not like Disney movies?!!!!! Well, dang. I guess Prince Charming really isn't ever going to show up around here then. And I had such hopes...

But is he Charming?
Yes, he is. He also keeps his charms at home, which makes him even more of a Prince!
I always try to talk to people first, but in my experience, it never does any good. Responsible people are responsible without being told. Irresponsible people don't change their ways just because someone asked nicely. I always talk to people anyway, in case they are the one in some really, really big number that actually didn't know they were causing a problem and really do care.

We too have an easement but it's for utility workers only. We're out in the country, and one farm backs up to another. We can't completely fence in the property because utility workers (electric) need to be able to get to the poles which are in the back of backyards. Still, we get people on horseback riding through our yards. When we can afford, we'll fence ... leaving a 6' easement around perimeter of the property.
So, NO ... people do NOT have a right to use state's easements for their personal ATV course.
Harlans: It's not a crisis to YOU because you don't have ATVs and snowmobiles and horses creating havoc on your property and running over your chickens but believe me, when you've got a problem like this, you better believe that BYCers will be there for YOU.
There are all sorts of easements. Some do give the right to others to use one's property: a good example would be an easement to access landlocked property--essentially a driveway to get to one's land. That does not mean that the entire property is available, only a specific, designated portion. And as said, there are easements for utilities. We have utility easements, but we can certainly fence the land. What we cannot do is deny access to utility workers who need to access their lines. Many cities have easements along the front edge of properties that will allow them to widen the street if necessary. Lots of other kinds, too. As to what kind the OP has, without more details, it is difficult to say, but unless it is a public access easement (which I doubt), there is no right for the neighbors to be on her land.
