Someone HELP save my chickens!

I honestly wouldn’t have gotten them if the town people told me NO but they didn’t they said it’s a “hush hush town, as long as no one complains”

Well, unfortunately, someone complained. There's no harm in petitioning to try and change the law or get an exception, but you may have to get rid of them.

As for your peeper, though? Report that. Disgusting.

I understand and I know this sucks for you. I would be devastated is this happened to me so I'm very sorry if you feel I wad making lite of your situation. You can utilize the resources on this site to find a good home for them. I recently did so with a pigeon I rescued and she now has a very loving home. The other possible alternative would be to bring them into your home. Your neighbor wouldnt need to be wise to it. You can buy chicken diapers or I'm sure someone has a pattern to make them from scratch. If you brought them into your home it might buy you sometime for an appeal on the ordinance

Sorry I wasn’t referring to you!

No problem steph, I've been there. Than I moved up here, things are... calmer for me now. I know realistically you probably cant move, but I'm really hoping that things will get better for you

I agree I had a bad issue similar I let go and it turned into creepiness for over 10 years.

Or use straw for bedding and start a smelly compost heap right near your fence line by the neighbors house.

Not direct enough. Go get their morning newspaper and squat on their lawn.

Better yet. Go to yard sales and purchase a lot of furniture. Then put it all out front with a sign that says Yard Sale. If anyone asks its not for sale. Just sit on it and drink in the front. Most citys allow for a 30 day yard sale. Then just bring it all inside for a week...have another sale.

That's not a good route. You want to make your neighbors want to go along with your breaking of the rules, not be angry at you. The point here is to build bridges, not burn them.
