Chicken ASBO!!

[mandyballantyne]

Can't believe this! Anyone else heard of this??

One of my neighbours (in a small rural village) started keeping chickens after falling for my girls.

His are very friendly but 2 keep getting out of the garden and coming for a visit and the village thinks this is great. However one neighbour who is moving soon has been complaining to the council saying he has been getting intimidated by them

An ASBO has now been served

Mine have not been mentioned though

Probably a good job he's moving. How anyone can be intimidated by two chickens is beyond me - good job your neighbour doesn't keep pigs or goats.

I know, but the council issued an ASBO???!! Have they not got better things to do!

jobsworth no doubt.

Mind you, I know a lot of people that are scared of birds. My sister hates my chickens - she said they're like dinosaurs and "freak her out".

I take it you live in a nice quiet area, with no vandalism or noisy neighbours then?

just read this and the idea of chickens with ankle tags and a curfew is hilarious

Oh dear, I agree, if you had terrible neighbours they would be complaining about each other instead of a couple of birds. If it was a rooster that was a bit fierce, I could understand that. But a couple of hens?
Better hope one of them doesn't lay an egg in his wellies, that would really cause problems!
