Dealing with difficult and annoying neighbors?

[Robert Kazlauski]

Hi,

Has anyone dealt with difficult, annoying, or complaining neighbors? What were the issues? How did you successfully resolve them?

Are you dealing with annoying neighbors? I have always lived in the outback and have never had close neighbors so I've never had to deal with them. However if you have a neighbor that is complaining about your chickens, maybe offer them up a dozen eating eggs. Who wouldn't soften if they were getting free eggs?!

We just ignore the annoyances as long as they don't actually affect us. They put up with our roosters, we put up with their issues and stand firm by that if they mention how loud our roosters are.

Seek official mediation with them. If they decline, anything goes. Keep a diary of all events.

I've complained (to local authorities to no avail) about my neighbour's 3 barking dogs for years. Now I have a cockerel that perches up high and crows toward his yard. guess what - the dogs have gone quiet.

Perhaps if you share how your neighbors are difficult or annoying, or what they are complaining about, we might be able to help you in more practical ways.

I would not give eggs to them.
No rewards for bad behavior.
