Unhappy Neighbor looking for solutions

[Unhappy Squawker]

I do not understand the neighbor who has such a loud group of chickens that disturb all sides of his property and have taken over the quiet of the neighborhood.
Can you please explain the value of the noise and stench over paying for your eggs? I just dont understand how the animals are ruling the roost!!
Please help

Are chickens allowed in your area?

 

[21hens-incharge]

How many chickens?
What are the lot sizes in your area?

Are you talking about noisy hens or are these crowing roosters?

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Are they staying on their property?

Would you rather 2 barking dogs? Or maybe teenagers. Or toddlers.

Absolutly. Id rather noise pollution from chucks than dogs , people , children!!!!!( most parents probably shouldnt be), loud music, vehicle's & a plethora of other man made audible harassments . If there is an over vocal cock have a word with the owners, if its just general chuck noise. Then id guess its being listened for a winding themselves up. And probably makes more noise than the chucks in the first place!

Since when does your neighbour keep chickens? Is it just a recent occurance?

What other animals are being kept by him/her, your other neighbours and you?

I deleted that post, because I can understand the OP's frustration, however, if the chickens are legal, and they bring the owner enjoyment, then the eggs, 'stench', and any benefits the chickens provide should be considered. Keeping chickens is a very rewarding hobby. Eggs and fertilizer are a bonus. We love chickens.

Chickens can stink and be very loud even though being legal and loved.

The stink can be helped by better cleaning practice and the noise sometimes by moving the coop farther away from neigbouring houses.

It's not about the cost of eggs.

Do you want help or just needed to vent @Unhappy Squawker ?
