Chickens. Fine. In my experience most people with chickens also have a rooster. If you own a rooster and live in close proximity to anyone, you're an asshole.
Everyone complains about my rooster, but no one complains about our neighbor that goes out into his back yard and just screams "Hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" at 3 am every night.
He is just keeping the property values low for the affordability crisis.
My neighbor does the same. Just puts a few rounds into the ground in case anyone was thinking about gentrifying the place.
that's just Bert. He's cool
Many cities and suburbs only allow hens.
As someone with a chicken, rooster, guinea fowl, and a turkey. The rooster is necessary for hawk and eagle related reasons, turkey sure as shit isn't gonna do anything and the guinea are bitches.
You gotta have a cock to cock block hawks
maybe a few geese? (from what I've read)
If you're making a recommendation of geese over roosters for annoyance you must not have spent much time around geese.
My childhood neighbour (great aunt or whatever around some corners, we called her auntie even if she technically wasn't) had chickens. Their rooster was fairly chill, but unfortunately mortal and eventually supplanted by a younger. That cunt was a genuine asshole, about what you'd expect from a young cock without anyone to trim his wings (figuratively, but also literally - mate could jump up to a kid's eye level with them things).
Where his predecessor had come to know us and tolerated us near the hens, the young punk was out for fucking blood. Whether he was jealous that the hens would come running to us, whether he thought he needed to protect them from what they clearly didn't see as threat or whether he was trying to play the tough guy in front of his chicks, I don't know. Bottom line, we stopped visiting the hens.
And I'd still take him over geese.
Friends of my wife have chickens they raised from chicks. Only it's very hard to sex chicks and three of them grew up to be roosters. They eventually found someone out in the deep countryside who was willing to take them in as pets instead of chicken dinners. Until that time (which took nearly a year), they relied on anti-crow collars they found on Amazon - which seemed to half-strangle the roosters but didn't do much to discourage noise.
My wife hates that I still refer to them as the rooster gimps.
Yep. This was a neighbor's rooster until their dog got off his leash and ate him.
Same can be said for anyone with a outside dog.
Had a neighbour who generally wasn't fit for pets. Whoever gave her a first dog to live in her tuna can of a smoker's apartment ought to be sued for cruelty. Whoever gave her a second one should be forced to live with the lot.
One or her dogs didn't get along with the other. No clue why or what she tried, but I'm inclined to assume "nothing" and it sure didn't work. Poor thing got locked out on the balcony instead. Whole neighbourhood got to hear his persistent cries of dismay. You'd think he'd accept his fate, but no, he'd bark hours on end. The hag had the nerve to be pissed at noise complaints too. Don't recall if he was taken from her or found some other end, but I think it stopped eventually.
Yeah that shits way louder than a rooster.
I usually just tune it out though. My neighbor has a loud dog that always barks when I go in my back yard lol. It's my yard bitch
yes, and? Your desire to have a big hecking floofy pupper who is just soooo happy and needs to share with everyone at 5 in the morning does not override my reasonable expectation of being able to sleep during quiet hours.
My back yard is overgrown really bad right now and the neighbor with the dogs has been doing his passive aggressive best to get me to act. I think I may find some goats.
I mean it you got an overgrown backyard it sounds like you're kind of the asshole
Please note, it's THEIR backyard.
It's got nothing to do with you; that means you are the asshole (not kind of).
Half of my back yard is wild with trees and bushes and tall grass, because I like my yard to sustain some small amount of wildlife. Squirrels, chipmunks, bees, rabbits, and even an owl live there. 100% better than your shit lawn, hands down.
Yeah I have a owl too. He wouldn't be there is there wan't something to eat.
Who said I have lawn?
Why? Unless it's growing into the neighbour's yard it shouldn't matter, and if it is growing in the neighbour can clip it back. Let the "weeds" bloom and nourish butterflies and bees. Let the thickets go and house a rabbit. Let the trees get scraggly and house more diverse birds.
Why should the people trying to mimic English royalty by perpetuating laws established as hidden racism get to say what a yard looks like?
There are many weeds that are not native and shouldn't be allowed to florish. Many should be cut back and exterminated. By allowing them to grow they are creating not only a fire hazard but a propagation plant for weeds to every yard around them.
Your house is a fire hazard.
You should salt your yard, only then can you be safe.
Most of my yard is not growth, I use as little water as possible living in the desert. I have plenty of plants that encourage pollinators and wild life.
And you're assuming what they have growing.
In my "overgrown" backyard I've only got native wildflowers (which can actually reduce risk of severe wildfire compared to all the grass that just dries up around me).
Nope. I like it. I'm on the very edge of the town and it isn't as bad as thh guy beside me in the county.
