Notifying neighbors

[keeks&kiwimom]

I wouldn't ... I live in a residential area, never informed my neighbors and they never knew until I told them, ha ha. Your property is fenced, chickens won't be "free ranged" so they won't pester the neighbors, you're zoned "a right to farm" ; you're good to go. Enjoy & glad you've joined us.

Thank you ChickNanny! I am so happy to be here!

BTW- I just noticed you are in Hilo, HI. I was born in Kahuku, HI and grew up in Honolulu. Mahalo for your help!

Just make sure that you abide by any zoning restrictions and building codes that apply, so there won't be issues with your coop. And enjoy your chickens!

Should I still let the neighbors know? Honestly

A conscience is a virtue. I commend your conscientious characteristic traits. Relax.. You are a good neighbor. As a matter of fact, I wish you were my neighbor.

You're legal, fenced in, planning on keeping them on your property. If they weren't overly friendly to begin with, I wouldn't poke that bear. I would suggest you put their coop/run as far from their house as possible, though. If you bought pullets, they shouldn't have too much to complain about.

...not to say that female chicken are always quiet,
but are usually quieter and usually only during the daytime.
