I understand wanting to do stuff like that sometimes... I joke that if our SOB nieghbor makes me get rid of my indoor chickens just because he can... and yes, he's exactly that kind of a person. He LIVES to turn people in for violation of any ordianance he can find, even when they live on the other side of town and no one even cares but him.. that I'm gonna get as many hound dogs as acceptable by law and tie them out

Of course, I could not and will not ever do this as I don't believe in keeping dogs like that... but I'll tell ya what, if he comes over one more time and oogles my chest, I'm gonna give him a what for.

When we first moved here, and believe me, had I known we wouldn't have, he came over and told me that I couldn't plant trees on the city property on the other side of the sidewalk, but that if I had any problems.... he would help me out.. YUCK! I told him that I already knew I could plant them there because I had already spoken with the city manager.

We got a letter that next week warning about our noxious weeds and tall grass. When I called the city office, they glady came down to see my yard and couldn't figure out why he had put us on his "List" to recieve a warning

What a JERK!!!! I made him feel small, so he tried to show me. Whatever, like I told my other nieghbor who can't stand him... I've got just enough hillbilly in my blood... I won;t be bullied about my property. I take pride in it and take care of it, and just because I like the cottage garden instead of the manacured garden... I won't be bullied like that!

Ok, rant over...... I can totally understand why some people go to extremems to get rid of jerky nieghbors. But I do agree, it doesn't help the plight of the chicken owner in the end. Sometimes the best medicine is good ole honesty mixed with a lot of ignoring them and their bs.

In my opinion, it's your property so do what you want on it wherever you want to do it!!

Years ago when I had my two Icelandic horses, a woman who worked at the hospital (I worked there, too, for over 12 yrs) used to take her husky for daily walks on a retractable leash to do his bm's on other people's property so she wouldn't have to scoop the poop.

I tried talking to her nicely about it and explained I didn't appreciate her purposely allowing her dog to do his mess on my property as I watched her stand in the street because I had my own dogs, cats and horses to shovel sh-- for.

I told her if she didn't stop and respect others lives who actually lived here, since she only moved here to make money, she'd have a rude awakening some day.

The next day, here she was in my window, on the street, the husky retractable leash fully extended to poop on my property, again.

I finished washing the dinner dishes and took out my mouse dun horse, walked with him down to her doorstep and told him: "Potty, go poop!" He left a big pile of manure right on her door step and we walked home, satisifed as all get out, message delivered.

I miss that horse every day, he was better trained and more reliable than my dogs have ever been. He passed away a few years ago at nearly forty years old and I hope to see him someday when I go over the rainbow bridge.

that was so nice- leaving fertilizer-lol
we had bad neighbors too but I kept away from them mostly.But when they shot off fireworks at my chickens- my dh got out his gun to target practice- the fireworks stpoped.

 

[Nuggetsowner:)]

Did you even try to talk to the neighbor??

I understand what you did and why you did it, but did you exhaust all options before you made your point.

I think some people just believe that others should do everything for them. They may not even realize this behavior is not "normal" untill it is pointed out for example: We knew some one who came from a wealthy family and moved to our small town. She believed the way she acted was "normal" and did not realize that all people did not think like her untill her behavior was pointed out. Then she began to see what "real" life was like.

I hope that most people would make an effort to try all other possibilites before making such a statement.

I agree with seedcorn, it's actions like this that make it harder to raise poultry responsibly. Not that i wouldn't have done the same thing....
