Ladies and Gentleman out there in the virtual world I need your assistance again. I'm not real sure if any of you read my question about my crazy neighbor but just to give you a recap this is a couple that moved in to there father's home the father lives in
Florida they beat each other up in there front yard , when they try and ask for aluminum foil and eggs and milk we had to cut them off because they were doing it everyday. Well they got very upset with me when I would say no or call the cops on them for draining my pool pulling my flowers etc. Well I have been going green building a bigger green house and I spoke to my other neighbors around me about having chickens so all of my other neighbors were excited because they wanted to buy fresh eggs as a community we are pretty close . Well my angry bee neighbors called the Paulding County community development and said my chickens are a nuisance well my chickens are only 5 days old they cant even go outside yet I have them in my garage under a heat lamp because they have to have an ambient temperature at all times . I knew in my heart when I received the letter they did it I just needed to confirmation. So, I did a meditation to let go of all my angry energy and waited till they were outside and called one of there names and said hey man can I borrow some dish liquid now ladies of course I didnt need that but my spirit told me that I would get my answer well all of a sudden he starts yelling and screaming at me . Saying no you dont get any liquid and on top of that you are going to be getting a surprise in the mail ****h. I said what are you talking about? And, he proceeded to tell me that he called Paulding County on me for my chickens and started called me every name in the book. I told him I would pray for him and his family for being so ugly . I guess the point I am making is these crazy people cont stop they just harass you and call you names call and make false accusation about you what do you do? This would be considered a civil matter and it's one person saying something pointing fingers how do I begin to fix this . We dont have an HOA in our neighborhood we cant vote her and her family out but all of us other neighbors cant take it. But we all have tried getting her dad's number to talk to him about there behavior but no one is giving it up please any advice is great I'm not sure how to deal with a drug addicted family thanks in advance for your input have a wonderful Thursday.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

For one thank you ladies for your responses and Mrs. Cheryll if you did read my first post about these people you need not comment and be ugly he has and she has harassed our family for two years drained our pool called my family names damaged property . He has raised his hand to me I am sorry that you have a lack of information and think chickens are dirty but do your homework as long as the owner takes care of there animals they are very sanitary creatures they kill unwanted bugs and such so if you are here to be ugly you need to move along this forum is used for advice not to tell me what you dont like because i dont care . But nevertheless to all the ladies that were helpful just a little info we did put cameras up put no trespassing signs we went to the court house found the owners info also i spoke with my other wonderful neighbors and we are filling a community nuisance law against them we have notified authorities of the drugs and abuse that takes place so we are going to sit back and let the courts handle it again thank you ladies for your advice again you truly keep me grounded have a great day. :)

I've seen some people talking about a restraining order. I don't think you have grounds for that. Just because you don't like each other is not grounds for a restraining order. You started the conversation with him in order to get information - he gave you the information you were looking for. If you didn't want to hear it, you should not have spoken to him. He wasn't harassing you.

By the way, I would be complaining about chickens as well. They are dirty and noisey. I would not be happy about them being just over the fence from me.

About the only thing you can really do is move (which is probably not an option) or just not speak to him anymore.

If it's legal for you to have the chickens there isnt anything they can do about it. There is usually a rule about roosters tho since they tend to wake people up.
These sound like neighbors from Hell, but usually time fixes things.
If the rest of the neighborhood is on the same page you are, you will just have to use your good neighbors to keep you sane and let the crazy neighbors be your entertainment.
Call cops when warranted.
Unfortunately we cant pick our neighbors and sometimes they force us to move on to greener pastures, hope that's not your case.

if you can't get a phone #, then use public records to find the name on the deed...& start searching from there.

as for the chickens, do you have a permit for them? What are your local statutes on farm animals? I live in the city limits of a small town...& no farm animals are allowed. Time to make sure your actions are covered legally, even down to the larger greenhouse! Anytime we make changes, they have to be approved by the city engineer. :)

I have chickens and they are not dirty if the owners stay on top of keeping their area clean. and as for noise my chickens are quiet its the Roos that are loud. Check your city ordence (sp) for all the required laws for having chickens as long as you follow the rules there will be no problems with the law. and be sure that your chickens are secure EVERY night and cant escape when they are free ranging. You can also get a petition going with the permission from all your neighbors minus the A-holes and fight for your rights. go to backyardchicken.com they will have more advice for you. gl

If you don't already have a privacy fence, now is the time to start building one.

If you believe that there are illegal drugs being sold or consumed on their property, alert the police. Post "no trespassing" signs and notify your neighbors about it. Then call the police if your neighbors trespass.

I would seriously consider hiring an attorney and look into getting a restraining order.

If needed I would use a service like http://www.intelius.com/public-records.html?gclid=CJ7riY-... (there is a fee) or hire an investigator to track down the home owner. However, the property owner may not care or be interested in dealing with it...and if its family, then they may be doubly against "taking your side." However, if there are illegal drugs, you can share the property owner's info with the police.

I remember the earlier posting. These are sick people.

You did check all the legal issues regarding keeping chickens in a suburban area, right? It is definitely legal for you to do so? Not just chicks, but full-grown ones? Your best defense here is going to be the fact that keeping chickens is legal, so if you have checked and it is indeed legal, get that in writing (in fact, you may need some form of license to do it anyway so that would be your proof). Have it always at hand in case they try to say you're doing something illegal.

And yes, build a privacy fence if you have not already.

I think that last time I advised getting some security cameras that record thiings and mounting cameras at the front and back doors and in places where you can see if someone has come into your yards or has been on your driveway, etc. You need to keep recordings in case these people damage your property; you need video of them draining the pool or pulling up flowers so that police can KNOW it's them. And definitely keep in touch and in good relations with all the other neighbors. If ALL the neighbors have issues with these people, you have strength in numbers to complain to the police as a group about harassment, etc. if it comes to that.

If you have not sought any permissions to have chickens, by the way-- do it immediately. If the neighbors are legally in the right and you cannot have the chickens, it is better to give the chickens to a farm rather than try to keep them against local laws. It would become a huge legal fight that would cost you far more than the chickens would ever save you in food bills.
