I live in a neighborhood in the county with big lots. Chickens are legal in this county.
I have dogs too.
So the coop is 200 feet from anyone's house and the dogs are locked in the house from 9pm to 8am weekdays and 10am weekends.
1 neighbor doesn't work any more and likes to sleep late. So he has taken issue with my dog making any noise (one is louder than the other) and came over today to complain/bully and insult me because he doesn't want me to have chickens.
I told him I would rehome the rooster if he was bothering him. Hate to do it, but a rooster in a neighborhood, I can see the point.
he was not satisfied with that
he wants them gone and was very mean about it
sort of scary mean in his bullying way
I told him I was not getting rid of my chickens or dogs and I was not moving
but if he wanted to move I'd be glad to have someone take care of my dogs and chickens til his house was sold since he said he couln't sell his house with them all here. He's not trying to sell his house, he just wanted to complain
so now I"m worried he is going to hurt my animals
we do have neighborhood CCRS he says say no chickens but they also say no people of color are allowed so I do not consider them to be a valid document and the county says chickens are ok.
any ideas on how to handle this?
yes, I have offered them eggs, they haven't wanted them of course
I have dogs too.
