Updates on the last pages: Neighbor is threatening me and my chickens

Do a little research on BYC. There have been members who did this and some succeeded and have posted what and how they went about it. Good luck...

I’m beating myself up so feel free to do the same.

I don't think any sincere person here would want to beat you up. We understand it was a mistake. Unfortunately, things like this happen. And while you can feel guilty to some degree, it was a mistake. We all make mistakes, some more costly than others. I'm so sorry you lost Fuzzy. He sounds like he was a great boy.

I am unable to find a post I was looking for but will look more later.

You can also try CLUCK (citizens for legalizing urban chicking keeping). There are chapters all over the country and many have succeeded in legalizing keeping poultry.

Maybe this will help.

I had a feeling no one would vocalize beating me up. But I know people in my family, my sister and mom, will give me hell if they see me crying. I just wish I didn’t always have to learn things the hard way.

This is more an update to my flock but it never would have happened if all this wasn’t happening. I killed Fuzzy last night, and not in the humane way. I put a no crow collar on him that was too small for him and tightened it too much. I was embarrassed by his crowing and wanted to show the village I was willing to cooperate. He suffered for my stupidity. I’m beating myself up so feel free to do the same. But he was more than just a chicken to me. He was a source of comfort and I took his life to appease others. Not for a good reason. Not because I had to. But because I was stupid. I don’t know who else would understand but people here, and I didn’t feel like it needed a new thread. He was a good rooster. I really did love him.

Oh dear. Forgive yourself, accidents happen.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm crying with you... :-(

This is pretty common in these parts.You do have your individuals that complain but,mostly people either ignore them or feed them.
