Im hopeful that nothing comes out of it. Someone would have to hire a surveyor from the city to measure exactly where the property line is, and I don't think that anyone will do that. If it comes down to it, we will move it, but then there would be more noise. So is up to the neighbor at this point. Iguess I would have rather had someone talk to me before the city was called. Living in the city we all have to share space. We have another neighbor who regularly shoots off illegal fireworks, and we have asked as nicely as possible not to, and still it continues. So some how we all just gotta get along.......someday a place in the country

Did you check your city's regulations before you started to build?

I did, but misunderstood, the way it interpreted the regulation was that I needed to have at least a foot between the fence for any structure. Either way, I am off by 5", and again, neither party knows exactly where the property line sits. If someone does offer to pay to have the property line established officially, there will be a lot more moving going on. Either the fence to be moved, or the coop/run. I am really hopeful that it doesn't come down to that. Honestly, I don't want to bother anyone, the LAST thing I want to do is irritate anyone! We are very strict with our dogs, in that if they bark, they must come inside, and are not left outside for long periods of time, just to go out and play and run around. I am hopeful that this just dissipates, and eggs will be a good peace offering!

If you have a shared fence that probably is the property line... Or at least the accepted property line and will be used by the city if they push the matter. Where I live everyone is supposed to build fences at least 5' in from the property line (although few do) so they can't just assume it's the line and would have to survey. But we also aren't in the city...

So, do any of you use the compost method in your chooks run? I am thinking about starting one, because once the cherries begin dropping, and in the fall, the leaves, so if I have a good base to being with, it may help with the cost of feed

They've been doing well, but that night this one and five other babies were outside when I got home. It had been raining all evening, but they have plenty of places to get out of the rain. This one was by itself, when not five feet away the group of five was huddled together. I don't understand why this one didn't go over to them to keep warm. It had no injuries at all, and wasn't really stiff yet, so I probably could have saved it if I had gotten home a little bit earlier...

I'm so sorry.
