[BaaKaaawk]

And somehow I ended up with 23 chickens in the span of just a few months. Wow. That was long-winded. If you’re still reading, now you know my chicken addiction is a struggle! Haha

I wrote an article just for you... lol.

I'm sorry you have to deal with a nasty neighbor. Maybe they'll move soon. I was lucky with my next door neighbor. The town ordinance dictates that the coop and run have to be 10 feet from the property line. When the animal control officer came to inspect my coop before I was granted a license the neighbor cae over and told the officer that he was happy that I had my coop and run behind my garage close enough to his back porch so he and his wife could sit on their porch and see and hear my hens. I got my license and the coop is only 4 feet from the property line! My neighbors are out every morning and eat their breakfast on the porch on nice days when I go out to let my girls out into their run. they say they love to see how goofy the birds are when they get a little running room and love to hear the egg song. Of course I share extra eggs with them often.

Beautiful. Nice story.

I think convincing your parents should be one

I kept dropping hints to ‘insignificant other’ that I wanted a goat or goats having done lots of research and left computers on significant websites and borrowed books about the subject. I Even bought him a little book about goat breeding. Eventually we agreed to compromised on hens
