Our neighbor owns several chickens, turkey and a bad rooster. We don't own any livestock at all but respect anyone who does as long as they are contained on their own property. Our neighbor lets her chickens out to roam free, which is fine by me, but soon it became a problem. I approached her several times politely about her rooster becoming increasing rude towards us. He attacked my husband twice, chased me up the driveway from the mailbox, then attacked me while taking groceries from the car. When I approached her about it she informed me that her next door neighbors had called the law on her and now have a no trespassing order against her about the same reasons, chickens . She informed us that her husband is trying to contain them but they keep flying out. The last straw was when this rooster tried attacking my son and his daughters, one is 2 years old and the other is 7 years old. When she was informed of this, her answer was do whatever you have to do to protect your kiddos. With this in mind I called someone to come and get this mean rooster off my property, letting her know what I was going to do. Now she claims that it was wrong for me to have her rooster re-home without her permission and the next time she will call the law. Our conversation is all documented in a neighborhood forum on FB where everyone could see her conversations with me and other people concerning this rooster. I've never complained about how her rooster and her best friends hens are destroying my flower beds, scratched down to the roots of my bushes, but if she calls the law on me for her Rooster then all hell will break lose from this mild, polite and patient neighbor.
 
Welcome to BYC. Im a rooster lover, bubuI wouldn't keep a rooster that was attacking people. Your neighbor has a responsibility to contain her chickens, just as she would a dog.
She is doing all of us, who keep chickens, a disservice. People like that are the reason that cities pass laws banning poultry.
You did her a favor getting rid of the rooster. Someone might have filed a lawsuit.

Hello and welcome :frow
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Irresponsible neighbor! I think you have been more than patient and respectful, it’s totally unacceptable that you and your family are being attacked! She gives chicken keepers a bad name! Well done to you for taking appropriate action.

I still respect chicken keepers, you all do an awesome job. I really did not want to hurt him, no fault of his own, just wanted him in a safe place so he can crow and scratch the earth without harming us.
