re: I'm tired of my neighbors' chickens hopping the fence and entering my yard

My neighbor does the same.... lots of chickens in his yard and we have a barbed wire fence between our two houses/property. Been at the house two years now and wife wanted to redo the flower beds. We spent a few hundred dollars on mulch and new plants and within a week, the damn chickens were in the flower beds throwing all of the mulch out. I told my neighbor that the chickens were doing this and that we had spent several hundred dollars on it. He said he would control them and he didnt. So i went and bought a pellet rifle and everytime they get in my yard, i kill a chicken. Population of chickens have decreased and he has now caged the chickens.

I been around chickens all my life, four chickens are not laying “hundreds” of eggs a month. One hundred would be pushing it

Exaggeration. I truly don't know how many they make but it is quite a lot because they have stacks of one dozen egg cartons every couple of weeks.

Again, the whole point of this post was finding a solid solution that doesn't turn me into a shitty neighbor, even though I'm not being shitty and letting hungry chickens go running amok throughout someone else's yard.

If you go the Big Lee route, make sure you have a custom LSU casket available. Gallo Del Cielo might fight back.

I tell you what bud, i'll let you borrow my husky for the weekend. He'll handle the situation for you, just leave him in your backyard when you know those chickens hop over the fence.

I like chicken. Fried chicken, baked chicken, bbq chicken, chicken gumbo, chicken salad, drunk chicken, and most other chicken dishes.

Get a Gamo, and enjoy the free meals baw.

Borrow a dog.
Whack upside the head with a golf club.
Ask neighbors to have their wings clipped.
Do you have a dog or cat carrier/kennel? Catch them, throw them in there, and give them away.

Gallo Del Cielo …man what a classic. Great song
