Well everyone, I think I won this battle. My husband got a call from her long distance boyfriend from NY last night and he wanted to know if we could move our chickens, hubby said nope! and also told him that we have installed a security camera and to let her know that if she steps foot on our property, she was going straight to jail. I think he got the hint and I believe he will make sure she doesn't do anything stupid again.

Hooray!

How far is your coop from her house? On the drawing it looks like it is very close.
While she sounds like a hateful person and my first reaction would be to screw with her, I think in the long run, it would be better to try to resolve the issue if possible. I think common courtesy dictates that we have an obligation to our neighbors to allow them the peaceful enjoyment of their home to the extent possible. I was willing to move my crowing roosters to the back of the property when my sister complained that they were too close to her bedroom, I should be willing to do the same for a neighbor..... even if I didnt like her. The same way that I would hope a neighbor would respond if I were to complain about their barking dog or loud music.
I also think that as animal owners we have a duty to our animals to keep them safe, so moving your chickens away from her would be sensible. Or, perhaps you could just cage your roosters separately on the other side of your house. They could have conjugal visits with the hens as needed, LOL.

Well eggchel, I have been putting up with her letting her dogs poop on my lawn for 4 years now, I asked her to do something about it and she wouldn't, so for me, all courtesy is gone!

Ah, Chel! You are such a peacemaker! That's one of the things I love about you!

JM... sorry for your hassels. Darn, what a pain in the tookus!

 

[CarriBrown]

Yay hubby! Lay down the law!

 

[SpottedCrow]

Good! Hopefully that's the last bit of trouble with that harridan...

 

[eggchel]

Well, Im not always a peace-maker, I still refer to my ex-husband as "the future hood ornament on my car".

Sometimes there is just too much bad history for things to be settle politely, so in that case.... put the dog poo under the seat in her car. She will keep checking her shoes for days.

LOL
