Shouldn’t the neighbour pay for the repair of your fence?
In my country the owner of a tree is responsible for damage that comes from it.

I would have thought so. I guess it comes down to how well you get on with your neighbour.

If the costs to repair are quite high, our insurance would handle it. They ask a repair company to estimate a price and claims the cost from the neighbour (in case of neglect).
I can choose wether I let the repair company fix the damage, or get paid and fix it myself. It has no influence if the neighbour doesn’t want to pay. The insurance repairs/ pays anyway.

Next door is a rental so not my neighbour's responsibility & the owner refuses point blank to spend any money on the property. Besides the fences in question are only chicken wire & easily fixed with some zip ties.

It is not my place to tell anyone how to manage their chickens and I'm not doing so now. I know you want to become self-contained but until then you should at least consider how you can quarantine in the future.

You are right of course but I had a very small window of opportunity & I knew he'd be a great rooster - & he is! I preferred to take a risk with Henry, where I knew the owner & her birds, than wait & risk a bird only fit for the soup pot. As I said, he is related to more than 1/2 the flock. They already knew him & he knew them. I really didn't think there was much risk.
