I hope this is the right forum for this.
I’ve been reading a lot about ppl getting chickens or ducks and asking about how to deal with their neighbors. And a lot of the comments and reply’s are “well ask your neighbors how’d they’d feel about you getting chickens”. Um.. I’m sorry what?? I’m not a mean person and I try to get along with everyone. But (here’s where the devils advocate may come in) I will not ASK my neighbors permission to buy/own something. I’m an adult, I own my house and my land. I pay my taxes, and I’ll do and have what I want on my property. (Within the law of course) There are no laws or ordinances here in the country about chickens including roosters. Are they fenced in and kept only on my property- you better believe it. My chickens nor my dogs just wonder willy nilly. If my chickens and their noises bother my neighbors tough noogies buy ear plugs. (Just to be clear my dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs and they are quiet. I’m specifically talking about chickens.) Am I in the minority here?
