I’m in a weird situation currently with my flock, this is an evolving situation so I’ll keep updating if or when something more develops.
So some brief overview. I’m currently living with my parents.
A former neighbor moved some property markers about the time she put her house up for sale, it was quickly purchased online.
The new neighbors immediately began clearing timber and trying to put up fencing across the new property line along our property. We’ve tried discussing the issue with them but every time it goes nowhere, they don’t want to see the parcel maps or the current survey maps and they aren’t interested in hiring a surveyor.
This turned into a bigger issue yesterday when they tried taking two very large trees that are on the contested property line yesterday, and when we tried to talk it over again the current new owner’s mother accused us of being “land grabbers” and threatened us. Her words were “you’re think your big and bad, well I’m bigger and badder, just watch what I’ll do.”
After that we just called the sheriff to deal with her, and we’ve decided to hire a surveyor to resurvey and put the property markers back where they’re supposed to go.
Today however the hag’s adult son “who is the one who purchased the property” wandered down through the woods and stood on the bank overlooking my goose and duck enclosures and just stood there staring at them and me, he wouldn't say a word, just stood there and stared.
I’m definitly creeped out, this was to me an obvious attempt at intimidation and I now don’t know what to expect from them, what they’re capable of or what they intend to do next.
I haven’t been able to find any clear information about what I would do if any of them attempts to steal or harm any of my birds or actually does so I’d be greatful if anyone here has any insight about that, or what I should do in this situation.
If you have any expierience in some sort of situation like this I’d love to hear what happened to you and how you dealt with it too.
