Same, never going back city/suburbs, humanity is completely insane, there are cows all around here too, none are mine though.. I very rarely even go into town, the country town that is.. I shop at night when the stores have very little to no one there, I avoid society as much as possible now.We are pretty lucky to live outside city limits. Our only neighbor is a feed lot for cows.
Pay him no mind. I’m not from the area but if you’re sure of your zoning laws he can’t touch you. You COULD flip the script but why stoop to his level... not saying you will and are but, if his dog is off leash a lot I RECOMMEND you predator proof your coops. I’ve lost 2 flocks to dogs. Dogs will be dogs... some people say euthanize them but why... it’s in their nature and they don’t know better. Sure you can train them not to but not everyone owns poultry. If it does manage to bust through your fence you could possibly press charges for each individual chicken especially if it’s a source of income, again up to you.(I don’t know how your laws in NY work but I’ve seen some people do it in CA) anyways don’t over think it, you seem knowledgeable about your laws. Sorry if grammars all over the place I’m tired haha. Good luck!My neighbor all of a sudden has a problem with my chickens. He freaked out because I held 40 chicks overnight for a friend. The chicks were gone in the morning but he is still freaking out. He’s worried his dog will come into my yard and kill my chickens. But then he tells me he has trained his dog not to touch my chickens.
I live in upstate ny where the right to farm law is in effect. My village zoning laws say nothing about not being able to keep poultry. It actually says it’s okay to keep all kinds of livestock in any zone. There is also no limit on how many I can keep. The right to farm law covers most of the zoning law in my village.
I breed and sell my chickens. I sell the chicks and the eggs. This has quickly become part of my income since I cannot work outside of my home. I have four roosters and twenty hens. My neighbor is mad that I have named all of my chickens and that I don’t actually know how many I have. I know how many I have but don’t tell him because it isn’t his business.
I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here at all. If he calls someone down will I get into trouble? Or can I flip the scrip because he lets his dog off leash in a town with leash laws? In the zoning laws for my village it says no animal shall run at large, except cats, unless fenced in properly. My chickens are fenced in but hes afraid his dog will bust through the fence or something. There is also no talking to this guy. He’s an old man stuck in his ways and refuses to listen to anyone who doesn’t tell him what he wants to hear.
Advice? Should I just let it be? My anxiety has
This makes me frustrated at how someone can be so unfair. You are not at all in the wrong here. Don’t blame yourself. You’re most certainly right, it is ABSOLUTELY none of his business. You are doing everything right following all laws. If his dog kills your chickens, he’s in the wrong and could get in trouble by the law for not keeping his dog on his property and for killing someone else’s animals. He’s mad because you’ve named your chickens? That’s completely absurd. Your animals, you get to do what you want with them. It’s none of his business.My neighbor all of a sudden has a problem with my chickens. He freaked out because I held 40 chicks overnight for a friend.
