Chickens yet! The damned things wander all over the neighborhood, crowing at the most ungodly hours and occasionally attacking small dogs. The noise would wake even the wealthiest music critic. Am I within my rights to eat them if they are on my property?

When I lived in a middle-class neighborhood in L.A., HUD would deliberately put in indigent people to rent houses and within those houses you'd see a barnyard of chickens, pigs, and goats which would sometimes get loose. There are city ordinances that ban this in the neighborhood. You need to inquire to your city council members on what city ordinance it is that your neighbor has broken. I believe you can take them to court also because those chickens are livestock animals and were not meant to be in suburban neighborhoods unless you lived within a certain block which ordinance dictated this to be permissable. I would write a formal letter to the city council or contact them and ask what can be done about this problem. They know of all the ordinances from leaf blowing motor machines runnning before 10 A.M. to livestock running free in areas where zoning prohibits this.

I feel your pain. I know because I had neighbors that had chickens and shit running all over the place and all I could say to myself is "There goes the neighborhood".

My next door neighbors have chickens, maybe half a dozen of them.

They visit my property and front porch - not a problem.

Since this seems to be a growing problem in some residential areas, about the only logical thing for a homeowner to do is put a fence around their property. Now with the issue with chickens that can fly, residents can't really protect their property neighbors who have animals that escape and are seen walking on someone's porch and on their grass soiling it with their feces. Not to also mention the ungodly times they cackle about in the early mornings when some people like to sleep in. I can see where the complaint is here. Chickens are livestock just as goats and pigs and belong on a farm in wide open spaces and should not be in suburban residential areas. It's an issue of health hazard, quality of living and peace of mind. Same with barking dogs.

I get up at 5:30 am on workdays, I don't consider that sleeping in. When the rooster was out there at 3:00 am making more noise than The Who, it became a problem. Thank you for backing me up on this, purplerose, it's not like I'm just complaining because I hate poultry. Or animals, for that matter. There are hundreds of squirrels, robins, red-winged blackbirds, wrens, and even a chickenhawk in my neighborhood. I don't much like the chickenhawk, it tends to scatter the feathers (and/or fur) of its prey everywhere, but it is what it is. It is a wild bird, not someone's pet/produce. I can accept that, it irks me that I am burdened by a neighbors cash-cow.

I don't dislike poultry or animals for that matter. But I do see your point on addressing the concern of this in your yard at a time when some days you are sleeping. Like I said, its a quality of life, peace of mind issue that you should not have to be dealing with.

Years ago, I had a roommate who's dog had a barking problem that would disturb our next door neighbor to the point we either had to do something about the dog, move, or wind up getting sued. When you live in the wide open country and your neighbor is about a mile away from where you're at, it's not a problem but when you live in a city or suburb and you have animals issues like what you described, neighbors have to consider zoning laws on farm animals, as well as signs that give notice on curbing their dogs. Many people now put up fences due to the problem of dogs and cats leaving behind their mess for the owner of the house to clean up after (which is not right at all).

My mistake here: It should read as the following: Years ago, I had a roommate whose dog...

Sorry about that.
