To be honest I think we’re the bad neighbors, at least to everyone else. Our acre and a third is zoned agricultural and we have taken to raising heritage breed chickens - which means you need roosters, and with that you get crowing. Neighbor to the left doesn’t care, neighbor to the right (and closest to the chickens) doesn’t care, woods across the street, neighbors behind us and some others fairly far away have issues. We tried to keep rooster levels to bare minimum but after awhile it became apparent we could not please folks unless we pretended to be suburbanites like them, so we gave up. We do obey all the laws to a T though, and we’ll move whenever we can. Still I am amazed when people move way out in the country and are offended by agricultural practices… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-best-and-worst-neighbors/526351.md?page=1)
