You neighbors may like the sound of crowing. When I moved to my current home, the people who lived in the house before me, warned me about the MEAN neighbor next door. So far the "mean neighbor" has cut my grass when my riding lawnmower was down, and when I told him I was getting chickens, he thought it was cool. I share pears with him from our trees, and will share garden produce with him. I think I will give him some eggs from the girls once they start laying- just to be neighborly.
