We let our neighbors in on it before deciding to keep the hens. We also always share extra tomatoes, zucc, cucmbers, etc. from our garden. So when I mentioned hens, they thought....."We'll get fresh EGGS!" My neighbors are fantastic & enjoy throwing kitchen scraps over the fence. The neighbor egg tax is a small price to pay. The 4H was my back-up plan in case of a jogger or dog walker. One on my neighbors is on the village board & helped get the ball rolling to legalize backyard chickens. I emailed info around to increase awareness & gain support.
