Flashback to about 4 weeks ago, neighbor comes over (renter) and she says "ya know I hate tell you this, but your roosters are really bothering me, I can't sleep, they crow all night. So I am really sorry that you will have to move your setup
, I know it was really hard for you guys to move that coop there." Okay, so being the descent neighbor I say "well how about if I close the coop up at night, would that help you out?" She says "no, it is your serama that bothers me the most, his shrill shreeking crow pierces through my head". So I say I am very sorry, and will try to come up with something.
3 weeks ago....
My husband and I are outside walking our property line and she asks what we are doing, I tell her that we are solving her rooster problem, we will now install a privacy fence 9' high along side her house and dropping to 6' high further down. She is not as happy as we thought she would be, hmmmm.
Here is what the property line looks like.....it goes through a driveway that was already on my property when it was subdivided, so basically, I have been so graciously letting her park on my property for the last 5 years.
1 week goes by while she ponders this and then my contractors pull up with all their equipment to dig holes for the fence posts. Now we are trying to get her to move her car so we can install posts, we knock, call her, knock some more, she is ignoring us. My husband finally says, call a tow truck, its on our property, not 2 minutes later, front door flings open and she gets in her car peels out in my driveway and drives off.
Now just to show ya'll I am not a bad person, I told her that until her landlord (who I did call a week previous to inform) put in a driveway for her, I would still let her park there and hold off on putting the pickets up. Of course she pretty much burned her bridges when she did the peel out thing though.
Ok so now she is having to walk 300' from her car to her front door. Not a happy camper.
Last Tuesday, we wake up to 2 of my animals dead
un.
Friday her landlord shows up at my door, let it be known, he has flew in from Chicago for the Easter weekend. Landlord proceeds to tell me that if I put the fence up, he will take me to court
, WHAT? For putting a fence on my property line, are you high
? We tell him pay for a lawyer and a driveway or just a driveway, it's up to him. We actually told him we knew a contractor that did driveways and would have him come give an estimate.
Ok so here we are today...11am, county health dept. shows up to check out the substandard living conditions of some chickens called in by the neighbor. He says mind if I take some pics, I say please do. He takes a picture of the coop, I ask would you like to see inside, he says no, I have seen enough, I can't even smell chickens over here. He tells me he gets "bogus" calls like this all the time from feuding neighbors. Now by doing that, she really got me madun.
I call the sheriff's dept. to tell them I am not sure what she will do next and that I am afraid for my animals. They say hang no trespassing signs and call back if her toenail hits my soil. I run to lowes, grab 4 and proceed to staple them on the posts facing her house. She walks out of the house, looks at them, then hops on my property and walks down to her car while I am taking pictures of her
, I call the sheriff out. When she gets back he tells her if I call them again because she is on my property, she is going straight to jail and asked her if it is worth it. The moral is 'Don't mess with a woman and her chickens, period'.
Well good night everyone, I had to just let this out. I can keep ya'll informed if you are interested.
