We had some visitors today! A neighbor, about 5 houses down from us, has a few hens. They are beautiful, and tend to go wherever they please. After I let my chickens out this morning, I heard my boys crowing, and a bit of a ruckus. I went outside to check, and my neighbors' girls were hanging out in the yard Romeo didn't know what to think, and the rest of my flock was in the opposite corner, digging through leaves. They flew over the fence when they saw me, but it makes me wonder how many times they have visited when I'm not home? Although, I don't mind them visiting, I will have to speak to my neighbor about it. I don't want any disease transmission, if they have any, and I don't want them to fight with my birds. Also, it's not safe for them to roam. We have feral dogs, and people who let their dogs roam around the neighborhood. I don't even feel safe with my kids walking down our street alone. I have been circled by two dogs that live on the corner of our street, and although they were not overtly aggressive, they were circling me like they were thinking about it.
