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.

Have you been hanging around the Cracker Barrel in your white van?

No, that story made it big on the local news last evening. I couldn't hear the details because of the noise in the tavern. Some woman is charged with making a false report to the cops about seeing the white van.
Those chickens did a drive by on my porch yesterday. I think their population is down to about 5 now - used to be a dozen of them. Not sure if wild animals or hungry neighbors reduced their numbers.
