Someone keeps making complaints about my chickens! (Update post #222!)

[ArizonaNessa]

Sounds to me like these inspector people are getting just as fed up with these complainers as you and your family are. You know I had an old lady call the police once and told them I was selling drugs out of my home.

Of course they came IN FORCE. I told them kindly that I sell chickens and this is the reason why there are strange cars/trucks coming around and not staying long. I mean seriously it don't take long to pick up a few chickens. I told the lead officer that I was more than willing to allow him and his squad of officers go and inspect each and every chicken hiney out there to see exactly where these said "drugs" were. That started a chain of laughter that almost didn't stop. They did look around and that was fine. I told them that it is not like I have people leaving here on foot with a chicken under their arm snorting it or anything. Old people are so funny when they don't have friends.

Once I was visited by a large contingent of officers. The doorbell rang late one evening. My kids were little and answered the door. A few seconds later, 2 terrified, wide eyed children came upstairs into the livingroom and said, "Mom, you better get down here." I went down and saw an officer at the door and officers spread all over the front lawn. Some were standing, and some laying down. Some had pistols drawn. Some had shotguns aimed at the house. The one at the door said, "are you Monica so & so?" I said, "No, I'm Jody B." They had the wrong address. They all looked so disappointed. Thankfully, they didn't have a no-knock warrant. Then they would have kicked in the door, thrown DH & I to the ground, hauled the kids to cps and shot the dog.

Smuggling drugs within chicken butts is HILARIOUS.

And Horsejody that's so scary. Funny now, but it sure is a good thing they knocked first!!

Once my uncle was arrested for murder and held in jail. My uncle is a prominent preacher in the community, he's a well known upstanding citizen and his son is the mayor. It caused a huge stir.

Two weeks later he was free of all charges, it turned out the real suspect looked frighteningly similar to my uncle and that was the cause of all the initial confusion!

Congrats!!
I got a feeling you haven't heard the last of it. If these complainers have been this persistant, I don't see them stopping just yet. At least you got ammo and have talked to the super about this whole mess.
again,

Host a victory BBQ. Invite all your neighbors. Maybe everybody will show up except the complainers!

I am glad it looks like things will be resolved.

Horsejody, HOLY SChKLAMOLY!

ArizonaNessa....I have heard that story before...was that in AZ? I have a cousin on the force. He's a bit of a priss, so I HOPE you sold him to go look up a chicken vent.

Yep Glendale but it was phoenix PD that came out. I found out later that the little old lady calls in to the dept quite a bit to report a list of things she gathers during the week. Of course this was quite some time ago and I have not heard anything about her lately.

Nobody cares around here. One other person has two HUGE roosters that crow up a storm with mine every six months and someone else has about ten super miniture ponies and donkeys. I think every single person also has a dog of some kind.
