Neighbors have chickens!!

So this is late in being posted but whatever.
So last week on Friday, I was woken up by my older brother and his fiancée because they thought one of our chickens got loose. They spotted what looked like a Buff Orpington in the neighbor's front yard but when I got dressed and went out with Lisa(Brother's fiancée) to catch the hen, it was gone.

We went back inside and then went into the chicken yard to find that everyone was still locked up inside the coop. I let everyone out to count them and everyone was accounted for.
I then remembered seeing a coop in the neighbor's driveway around the beginning of the year and figured out that they got chickens.

These are the only neighbors we haven't actually spoken to at all.

I'm actually glad that there's more chicken people in the neighborhood!

No surprise there several in town here also

Is Washington state favorable to chicken folks, or only in small towns??

I only found out my neighbour had chickens, when my rooster took all his girls for a walk down the lane to meet them. They were all at the fence looking at them when I found them, with the neighbour..lol She was also surprised I also had chickens! Sadly my rooster could not take them home...lol

Nice. Now you will have something to chat about if you ever see them out and about.

Well I bet your rooster could send her some nice notes - pushing them through the fence.
Love will find away, I've been told. I think it lost my zipcode

Well her chickens are just two properties down, so they have been "talking" to each other across the properties. I always hear her girls going on, but I think she'd rather keep them celibate. They are penned in, so sadly my rooster will have a hard time getting to them anyway....unless they organise a jail break....lol
