So would you handle it?
I live on 2 acres of land, neighbors on the left and right, road to the front, crop field to the back. This neighbor just will not stop! We have issues with both.
The neighbor on the left is just ignorant. Well I don't know why your 20+ pit bulls, mixes, crosses, and various other dogs can't run through my yard, digging into our fences, our trash and killing our barn cat. I mean I just don't understand why we'd get ticked at this! How stupid we are. 5 calls to Animal Control were placed. Each time, we'll head there now if animal is on you're property, contain him to avoid further damage blah blah blah. They come and all they do is take the dog(s) from our yard back to their home, no citation, they laugh and all! Turns out they are friends with the officers!!! So the next time we catch the dog and TAKE them to animal control. How dificult it was to fit 6 dogs in the back of a pickup truck in all our crates securely. The owners weren't even home. The lady tried saying we stole her dogs. If they just walked through the yard to the field maybe it wouldn't be bad. But they try to tear into the chicken yard, and I can't have that. I told the lady once, a murdered chicken equals a dead dog, I don't care if it's you're favorite pup, my favorite birds or just an extra. Of course she got ticked, but this is after catching her dogs in my chicken yard (The chickens are in a pen inside a chainlink fence. We tell them when there dogs are over there, they MIGHT send the kid over to fill in holes they dig, or pick up trash they destroy. Finally they got a citation for not obeying the leash law. So now they have AT LEAST 22 dogs that I'VE seen myself on our property line on short chains/tie outs. It's illegal to tie a dog for more than 3 hours now in our county, but I don't feel like picking a fight as long as their dogs stay, but now they've started letting their dogs run loose for a few hours every day. I understand it's the country but COME ON!
The other neigbor is a nosey rosey. She will crane her neck, sometimes stepping into our yard to look at the dogs and chickens. Yes I have roosters, yes I let the neighbors know before I got them and she said she'd LVOE to hear a rooster in the morning. Evidently she thought they ONLY crow in the morning. They are locked up at night until about 7, so I don't see the big deal. We only have 2 crowers, the others are either hens or too young. She came over tonight saying "You're rooster is disturbing my dinner" I thought somehow he got out and was in her yard or something! Nope, in the coop already roosting. So I got back to her and ask how is a rooster interupting her. "He's crowing". Well DUH he's a rooster. She said to get rid of him or she could try to find him a home. I not so politley hinted that I don't think that'd go over well, not in the LEAST bit. So she rolls her eyes and proceeds to her property, just to come back in about 20 minutes while I'm eating dinner. Beating on the door I go answer it just to sigh when it's her. She asks to see my coop, I deny. She says that she has her windows open and can hear him (The rooster is maybe 20 ft from the window, which is open and I can BARELY hear him, it's not crowing they are just cackling over treats they were given) I tell her he's a chicken, it's the country, and neither of those things are changing. She said I was "Intolerable" and was flustered. She then asked to see my mom, mom repeated pretty much the same thing. She stormed down the steps and I heard her say she'd get rid of him and I lost it miniversion. I started with I hope you ever lay a pinkey on my birds and exploded when she turned around and rolled her eyes. Maybe from a 10 year old but a GROWN WOMAN??? I am NOT allowing my birds to scratch in her garden, my birds are AT LEAST 300 feet from her yard, MUCH LESS HER HOUSE. I just couldn't believe it. I told her that if I had a bird go missing I sure hope she said her prayers.
I just don't understand what's the big deal about TWO BANTAM ROOSTERS! They aren't THAT loud. I can barely hear them anymore and they are quieter than dogs barking. I just feel like stamping on their forehead Welcome to the country sweetheart. I know it's just my luck to have double doozies as neighbors, but it sucks. We keep the coop clean, our birds out of sight out of mind so they don't bother neigbors, no fly issue, and its not like I am running a hatchery! an 8x8 building OMG We're all going to die.
