Transitioning from roofed to roofless run

[K0k0shka]

Maybe I'm asking for trouble, but I'm hatching more eggs and would actually love to see the look on my neighbor's face when he sees a fresh new batch of chicks running around back there It's an interesting hatch with a plot twist, if anybody wants to check it out - it's over here

Nothing with a roof of any kind can exist within 8 feet of the property line

50' here in Lalaland, USA.. Read your zoning and decipher, best you can and do not be afraid to speak up.. It's online, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that "needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.." and zoning ordinance. Argue the point, because they will try too bluff you.. Don't be a chicken. They soon learn and will leave you alone. Be the Rooster! Bawk!

Town officials said nothing that's a roof of any sort (many suggestions have already been made, everything has been shot down and only wire is allowed, so the structure legally counts as a pen). OP recycled her old roof panels as winter windblock for the run, and put up giant patio umbrellas because umbrellas are free standing and thus can't be considered a roof or building structure in any sense of the word.

On the plus side town officials did agree the chickens and their set up were fine where they were so neighbor was out of gas in trying to find ways to get rid of them, and now has a lovely view of umbrellas from his bedroom. I suggested painting HAVE A NICE DAY on top of umbrellas.

Thanks for cleaning that up.. I'm such a chicken brain. Thanks again!

Other less pleasant, more interesting suggestions were made for the umbrellas too. And the OP has a nice lighted rooster ornament out there somewhere...
