Since my neighbor has killed some of my chickens because he doesn't like them, and made a full blown pest of himself, I guess this post belongs here. I noticed a gate hanger this morning telling me to call animal control "immediately regarding my roosters" so I did. The said there was a complaint about me having too many roosters. Chuck said "You know, there is a limit of how many roosters you can have and it goes with the size of your lot." I asked him how many rooster was I allowed to have. He said "How big is your lot?" Now, since we have gone round a few times with my neighbor making bogus complaints on my other animals, I just let the line go silent until he answered his own question. He knows very good and well how big my lot is. After about forty five seconds, he realizes I am not playing the game, and says "Oh, I think I have that information somewhere... Your lot is X amt of square feet. According to code you are only allowed thirteen roosters for that size of lot." "Well, that is good to know, since I only have eight. That makes four more I can get, right?" He proceeds to ask if he can come count the roosters, which I said come on over. He said I am busy, I will be there in an hour. So during that hour I made sure to go buy myself another rooster to celebrate the fact that I can have more, and when he came over and counted, I told him to tell my neghbor that I will be adding another rooster with every bogus complaint he files. Good day. (well, that, plus a bunch of colorful language.) So... woo hoo! I still can have four more roosters if I need to! What a great visit!
