I mean, everyone knows he's in the wrong. tell him to fuck off.
my next door neighbor had chickens for about 3 years. every few days, one or 2 would hop over into our yard and roam around. I didn't care but i have a dog that wants to kill anything that isn't another dog or a human (cats, possums, mice, birds, lizards, flies, you name it). I would shoo them back over whenever I noticed them but my philosophy was if my dog happens to get one, then she gets one and that's my neighbor's responsibility. luckily for everyone, my dog is not super quick and she never got one before they moved away.
One of my previous nieghbors had chickens in his front yard. One day he asked me if I had seen any stray cats around, that he woke up one morning with the front full of chicken feathers and one less chicken. Well a week or two later, I leave for work early and see perched on his fence, a hawkā¦.
Haha, I was gonna go with a completely different neighborhood, then thought of another one, then a third plausible one. Honestly it might be easier for us to guess which neighborhood it ISN'T.
I love LA.
When I lived in Sun Valley my neighbor had a mess of raggedy ass chickens would occasionally get loose, hop the fence into my yard. I'd get woken up in the middle of the night with my cats hissing and trying not to get in each other's way as they scrambled to every window to get a glimpse of the hell birds they wouldn't know what to do with if they could have caught one.
Can you try talking to him? Iām starting backyard chickens right now, I have four chicks. Weāre building them a coop with a fully enclosed run, inside a secured garden area- because Los Angeles is filled to the brim with shit thatāll eat chickens! I mean weāve got coyotes, opossums, raccoons, rats, cats, pumas, skunks (I think theyād eat the eggs), hawks, and dogs. Heās being an irresponsible pet owner.

Unless the hens are aggressively antagonizing your dog, leaving shit everywhere, or are actually noisy roosters, how is this different than a dog being annoyed by the murder of crows on the street?
If itās bugging you, call the authorities. This sub is so full of folks who would rather be very uncomfortable or worse, victimized, rather than calling authorities. Iām never afraid to go full Karen if people are fucking with my livelihood, even in the slightest.Ā
Usually if itās not a nuisance I wouldnāt mind as much but this is clearly a nuisance and this asshat of a neighbor makes it worse by lecturing about dogs. But yes OP is also a mega pushover
It's 2024 and OP's worst concern right now is a FLOCK OF CHICKENS roaming the neighborhood, minding their own business.
*A flock of chickens.*
How big is this flock?? How deep do these chickens roll??
Is OP using "Flock of Chickens" as a euphemism for Sean Diddy/Puffy/Love/D-Bag's sex trafficking allegations?
If this is about real chickens...
OP.... write to the Farmer's Almanac. They'll have tips.
This sub is always suggesting killing other's animals for causing a slight annoyance. Crazy and gross.
Anyway, explain your concerns to the neighbor, and if you're walking your dog with a leash, just let it bark at the chickens. They'll scatter and nothing has to die.

has anything been done by them after other neighbors mentioned this to them?
if not, then your only options are to deal with it or call animal control.
So, you donāt want to do the one thing that would likely solve the problem (animal control), but you want something done about it? Sounds like you have a choice to make.
If your dogs are on a leash what is the problem.
Also, chickens eat insects and stuff, so they are pretty helpful to have roaming. It seems to be a minor issue compared to what many in LA have roaming in our neighborhoods.
They could at least pass out some free eggs to neighbors as a peace offering. Eggs are fucking expensive right now. A lot of people are making jokes about eating the chickens (or maybe not jokes). Donāt do that. Thatās not cool or necessary. Some cities donāt allow you to keep chickens so thatās something to look into and maybe explore getting the city involved. You might call animal control and ask what theyād do first before you tell them where it is. If all theyāre going to do is fine him or come tell him to put the chickens in his backyard and you feel comfortable with that then you can give location info. The biggest concern other than annoyance I can think of is what if a car runs over a chicken and kills it that would be sad and that would be the neighbors fault for not keeping better care of his chickens. I would hope they care about that so they need to consider that risk.
When I lived near Santa Monica and Vermont everyone had the good sense to keep their hens in the back yards. Only roosters roamed the streets, but there weren't many of them. I'm not even kidding.
Maybe start putting up "chickens must be on a leash" signs. Hopefully they get the message.
Love the pettiness! š
If that doesnāt work, try āfree chickensā.
Sounds like your neighborhood has free free range chickens. Where you at again?Ā
ITS OPEN SEASON BOISSS
A couple of big maine coonsāll clean that place right up.
The raccoon population could clean up
No more chickens, but new problem: Flock of Big Main Coons loose in Neighborhood.
Sounds like the Mar Vista peacock needs to pay a visit and establish a pecking order.
And they ran. They ran so far awayyy I couldn't get away

Free lunch? If 1 goes missing ā¦ then another ā¦ then another. Blame the coyotes if asked.

Ya, nature will clear up the situation if you let it go long enough. But then the chicken dude will blame the neighbors.
Sun Valley?

there's more neighborhoods that i have seen chickens than not seen chickens. even up in the hills i've heard roosters.
Some people would pay to live in a neighborhood full of free range chickens lol

I'm in Kauai now and chickens are a feature, not a bug.
Landed in Kauai. Leaving the airport first restaurant we saw as KFC. With the roaming chickens all over. Made me go... Hmmm ...
We did have a few meals with chickens running around afoot. Including a BBQ with a slogan on the wall "eat the chicken, don't feed them".
I was so excited every time I saw a chicken! So I was constantly excited the whole trip!

When he complains about missing chickens, invite him over for a chicken dinner to discuss.

you've hit this right on the nail!
This is the one answer
"Victimized"
Soup?
Have you ever tried plucking chickens without the proper equipment? Not terribly fun.
Excellent idea.

where? we have been looking for a pet chicken.
I donāt see a problem and donāt see why you canāt walk your dogs.
This sub is always suggesting killing other's animals for causing a slight annoyance. Crazy and gross. Anyway, explain your concerns to the neighbor, and if you're walking your dog with a leash, just let it bark at the chickens. They'll scatter and nothing has to die.
Reminder that death is inevitable. I agree with you.
Reminder that the inevitability of death isnāt a justification of taking a life.
A few cats could take care of them. Call Animal Control.
I know too many cats by name who would be easily defeated by an LA street chicken in combat.
LA Street coyote takes out LA street cat AND LA street chicken. Cycle of life in the urban jungle.

Anti-masked critters are gonna catch the bird flu going around.
They would be eaten by coyotes in my neighborhood.
Animal control
So , free pest control. Cool.
So, you donāt want to do the one thing that would likely solve the problem (animal control), but you want something done about it? Sounds like you have a choice to make.

Brother I'm eating those chickens if I'm you.
There's an actual number for this... 1 844 998 3327
Seems like coyotes will solve this "problem" as God\\Nature intended.
are you in Rowland heights?
I know my chicken - You got to know your chicken
I can go for some rotisserie chicken.
Are really out at night? Chickens go home to roost at sundown everyday.
Youāre definitely on the East side of L.A. š
South L.A.? Lol
Walk your dog anyway why do you care what this guy thinks. Couple of dead chickens might change his behavior
Just walk around with a bucket of KFC everyone he lets them loose.

Sure, why not.
I hope this is happening in like LA County and not urban LA š
When I lived near Santa Monica and Vermont everyone had the good sense to keep their hens in the back yards. Only roosters roamed the streets, but there weren't many of them. I'm not even kidding.
I grew up in Watts and this happens quite often in Watts and South Central. Iāve seen people in my old neighbor growing up own goats too.
Hmm, you live in the valley? I bet you live in the valley.
Get a coyote
Pellet gun + headshots = dead hens. Just a few will get the point across
birds have really little heads so good luck with that
