Neighbors shouldn't have cared about you having a few chickens as long
as you didn't have a rooster. (I wish I had a couple of chickens living
under my apple tree to eat the insects)

Yes, they should not have, but they did.


One way to get neighbors to ignore illicit chickens is to give them a
box of eggs once in awhile. Yes, it's bribery, but it usually works.
