Chickens

Noise issue?- its a bloody chicken!

That blackbird in the tree at the end of our garden is a noisy blighter!

Dog barking does my head in but do I complain- no!

A neighbour has decided that it would be a good idea to get some chickens to keep in a coop in his garden. Bear in mind that although we are only a moment's walk away from open countryside, this is an estate situation. He only got them yesterday, but having previously lived on a poultry farm I know by the noise that currently these are not happy chickens. There is also a rooster.

I'm happy to give him a while to get the poultry "settled in", but another neighbour has already been round moaning that the houses in the road have provisos when purchased that farm animals cannot be kept on the premises, and this includes chickens, and I do remember that being pointed out when we purchased our house; so this 2nd neighbour wants to go in guns blazing and demand that the 1st neighbour immediately get rid of the chickens.

We've said no, we won't join in the complaint unless it becomes apparent that the birds are going to be a noise problem. I'm fairly sure the hens will settle down in just a couple of days. I've seen the accomodation and the owner has more than provided for thier needs. The only potential problem I can see is the rooster. If he starts pre-dawn crowing (and they don't all do that), then I don't think we'll be able to put up with that.

So my question.....would you complain right away to the owner of the chickens simply because the local rules state that chickens are a no-no, and demand he get rid of them? Or would you go for the wait-and-see option?

What's happening re the original post? Are the chickens quite happily living with everyone or has war broken out?
