I probably will go and try to talk to him, even though I'm kind of afraid to (he's not very approachable). This is not the first time he's had chickens - he had a flock of bantams last year, and most of them got run over by cars, because he lives on an intersection, and they "free-range" on the street (mine free-range, too, but in my FENCED front yard).
Dont go talk to him..... He wont take it well, you will be interfereing.
Let the professionals handle that chat, then he can aim his animosity at them, not you!
This is a tough one, and I dont envy you. I live in an extremely rural area partly because of this very reason. Neighbors can make life tough, or wonderful! You have my thoughts, and my appreciation for noticing the poor birds, and caring at all! Well done
Good Luck!
