Have a neighbor problem . New Jersey neighbor's are now permanent not just weekend warriors. And they have chickens now...
DW about on the 'warpath'... they've hollard at our kids for chasing their chickens out of our garden and away from our blueberry bushes, dw sent them out to do this... The wife told them to just shoe, shu? Wave your hands and they'll move, don't chase them with sticks... They chased them with "weapons"...
DW wants me to confront them, tell them to keep their damn chickens on their own property...and leave our kids alone.
I can't. I wish they would, I no longer free range cause I don't like my birds helping themselves to our garden.
BUT, when we moved here several yrs ago now, we had chickens AND guineas free ranged, and they trespassed on their property quite often, they didn't have a problem with that, thought they were awesome and said some day they would have their own. We had tons, TONS of ducks back then, and we have a small pond but they have a huge pond, our ducks spent more time in their pond then ours, and they were ok with that...
How the F' do I tell these 'city folk' we do not want your chickens on our side, when we did the same yrs ago?

I was very surprised when I visited Missouri that there were no fences between properties. Here in California, fences are everywhere!

Fences make good neighbors.

The perfect use for chicken wire is keeping chickens OUT of an area. Sounds like a few posts, and some chicken wire around your garden would solve most of the problems. You might even be able to resume letting your own flock free range too.

Penny your pizza looks so good!

Bc so sorry. But you need to either fence in your goodies or put up a dividing fence.

Well, the birthday party was a total success for my granddaughter. It was the Trolls theme. My middle daughter gave me a beautiful necklace. By the time everyone left, we adults were exhausted. The kids, on the other hand, were still revved up. We fed them a late supper, since they had been eating small meals, and snacking all day. They played with the new toys for awhile longer, then we settled them down by putting in a new movie.

The birthday girl decided she was sleepy about 15 minutes into the movie. The baby fell asleep about 10 minutes after her sister went to bed, and the oldest was able to watch the whole movie, then he went to bed. I fell asleep sometime during the movie. I woke up at the end of the movie, turned it off, went to the restroom, then got back in bed. I can't remember a thing after that. I was down for the count, and out like a light, until I woke up this morning.

Again, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes.

@Beer can I agree with putting a simple low fence around your garden.
