HELP- Need to hide my coop

Your HOA probably has rules against motorhomes and trucks out front but what about out back? People who park motorhomes long term usually put some sort of tire protector up to keep the sun off of them. Once the inspectors are annoyed a few times with your fake chickens you could maybe squirrel the girls under a truck or motorome, with something stacked up against the sides so no one could see/photograph them (obviously with wire to keep 'em in as well).

But yeah, I'd house chicken them. Or build an interactive run thing in the garage and maybe leash train 'em so you can yank 'em in and out when your neighbors are gone.

Good luck. Some days I just hate people.

Ohhh, just thought of something: in some areas of the country it is legal to have a 'companion' animal for stress related conditions. In San Francisco this woman brought a rabbit into a live theatre performance once, and produced a card saying he was a 'prescription companion animal' or something.

Not that you want that kind of grief, but...sometimes these oddball loopholes are the only way to keep your kids. If you have a friendly doctor who'll write a prescription saying you keep them for stress relief because you're opposed to medications...it might be something they can't argue with without 'violating your civil rights...and incurring huge legal bills'.

Good luck.
 
the thing is they can never search your house but they will go into your back yard all over your property if they wish too. clairese my marans is very spoiled and use to be here everyday and code enforcement was called and that person went straight into my back yard and i had to go to court. which i came in compliance when i moved clairese into the house and they no longer saw all my chickens in my yard. the court date was called off and now i have chickens again and no one minds them. just the person who called isnt allowed 100 feet of my home anymore for other reasons

I agree and there is this new coop that is designed to look like a garbage can, has a little run too. google it I am sure it will come up, I think My Pet chicken has them.
 
Fake chickens, tapes of crowing, mooing, egg laying song. If you can get someone to loan you some of those big cows or pigs, if not, how about paper mache's critter heads and have them looking out of the bushes at the neighbors!!

OOOOOOOOOO

How about an invasion on the neighbors property of fake chickens? or better yet, Pink Flamingos!
 
Camo burlap fabric is used by hunters to cover canoes etc. Maybe something like that? Maybe you can put your efforts into petitioning to have hens in your township?
 
I love the bit about the hairy guys in lawn chairs when the snooty, flamingo-stealing neighbors had an open house.

Good luck with hiding the chickens! It's worth all the effort.
 
OK I may be the odd man out, but maybe you should have looked into it before you got chickens. I know hindsight 20/20. I am new to "chickening"? Before we got any, we made sure we were abiding by the rules.

I don't know if this is whacked out, but could there be a small farm nearby that might house them, if you provide everything for them? Basically, just a rented stall for them?

The same freedom you seek to have chickens, is the same freedom you are infringing on for your neighbor not wanting to live by a small chicken farm. The regulations might be why he moved there in the first place.

Sorry.
