    Hello.
    I have a pretty mean neighbor, and it's because I have an orchard with various plants planted in it, and she lets chickens and rob me for the second year.
    Please help me because I can't take it anymore.
    Regards.

    On the mean neighbor and her chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, cows, in my case, the most effective turned out to be a large dog, trained in such a way that if it sees animals that are foreign to it than in its yard, it is their last outing in the field. He's no good with cows. But the bug doesn't show up anymore.
    A downside is that after such an action you have to clean up a lot of feathers :( .
    I know that this is a radical solution, but if nothing can be obtained with the police's request and threats, radical measures should be applied.

    And what do you think about the electric shepherd, but I don't know if there will be electricity through the feathers?

    Maybe the dog is uneconomical, but since it's already there, and it's doing great...

    Of course, all of this is just half-measures. The chicken is not a problem here. The problem here is the neighbor. And the point is for the woman to understand that it is not appropriate to shamelessly release poultry into someone's garden, because it is not allowed.
    How is he supposed to understand if he doesn't see the results firsthand? If she has to go to the store to buy eggs or fillets for dinner, she'll find that it's better to let the chickens eat at home and keep them in the pen.
    The electric shepherd is only a way to scare away the hens temporarily. It is such a stupid creature that sooner or later it will go back upstream anyway.
    That it wasn't. I was born, raised and connected to the countryside. And I know what it looks like. I also know that on my farm nothing has the right to go beyond a certain area. Is it a small dog, but it can't roam the road and scare the children coming home from school. Poultry also has its own designated territory and is tightly fenced. Because why should the neighbors take revenge on me for some stupid hens.
    So it's not the hen that is the problem, but the irresponsible owner of the hen. And I know that nothing appeals to the modest minds of such women as the flying feathers of their poultry. This is the only correct way. I know you want to settle the matter amicably, but if a woman wants to win, I think she should have it.

    You're right, I was also born in the countryside and I live all the time and let the dog go.
    Just out of curiosity, is there an electronic solution?

    The dog is patrolling :)

    for the neighbor to cut off the hens' feathers and they fly over the fence (she does it out of spite, she just goes around with all the neighbors she is arguing).

    Probably the most effective "scientific" way is simply sound. After all, they use it in city parks so that the birds don't shit on everything.
    What is this chicken afraid of? Videos of a barking dog? . The metallic clang of an axe? The sound of a cracking egg? :) .

    I still remember from my childhood playing with a kite and scaring the neighbor's hens and ours. I know that hens clearly hid when they saw our kite over the yard, on which a large bird of prey was drawn. Some kind of hawk or eagle. But that must be a big picture. The little ones didn't turn their heads. Pigeons and yes, immediately took off from the rooftops.
    Pyrotechnics next to the dog is one of the most effective methods tried in the real world.
    Nothing scares away birds and cats in March like a coveted firecracker.

    Hello, wouldn't it be better to lure these hens somewhere and quietly one at a time for broth? :D
    If a neighbor finds out that her chickens are disappearing somewhere, she will look after them herself and what you eat is yours. And there will be no fuss.
    :wink:

    One more thing about information from old 1952. In the city, maybe such inventions on windowsills work well. But let's not compare the city pigeon to the country hen. These bastards can easily jump over a 2m fence made of mesh, they can walk through trees, and if a rooster orders it, it's not a problem to have a party on the roof of a freshly polished car. I don't think that would help much.

    Niutat - but I, for example, would be afraid to eat the hens of such a neighbor. It would still hurt me :)

    Don't be offended that he writes that in this thread. All I know is that it's not a trivial problem and sometimes it's hard to deal with.

    Or maybe some sound that will make the hens' heads hurt something at high frequencies, what do you think? As you said about cars, it's the worst in summer, when they want to eat the insects killed on the car, they scratch the varnish with their beaks.

    I heard that if you catch a hen, put it on its side and cover its eyes with, for example, a leaf, it stops moving completely, you can catch these hens and put it in order, and maybe it will get scared that it will die and it will calm down :D

    Maybe just try talking to your neighbor. If that doesn't work, try some kind of acoustic deterrent, maybe ultrasound or the sound of a predator. If that doesn't work, buy a windbreaker :)

    I strongly advise against it - you can get in conflict with the law. :cry:

    I think with sounds because it's impossible with my neighbor, as in my place about a month ago, strangely, the hens began to die, each of them the same conclusion, she spilled something to them.
    Maybe someone has such a sound that, for example, a computer can play it on the speakers.

    With the release of sound from the speakers and el. it can be different and scary. A neighbor may accuse you of disturbing the silence and that hens will not lay eggs, and this is an additional problem.
    I also have a problem with these birds and my mother came up with a brilliant plan to set up a small kennel - 30 birds :/ The yard is all ... and messed up.
    I don't know how it looks with your property (how long) but I would buy a wire mesh, lose a day and fence this piece of land. And if such a hen falls on your property, the next day, soup for dinner :)

    Hello
    Johnyspzoo writes well - net and additionally a dog, next to me my neighbor has a small dachshund and he is doing very well. And if your neighbor tells you that her chickens are scaring her, the dog runs on her own and stays away from him. The dog behind the fence can chase and do whatever it wants (as long as you let it).

    And it is possible to connect the transistor bd912 to the amplifier on the tda2822m to amplify the voice?

    The best way is to commandeer a hen that appears in your area :) if half of the herd disappears, she will look after it herself and you will have free broths for half a year :lol: you didn't invite this hen ;)

    When your hens have their feathers clipped and it's not in your favor, you know where the enemy is :D can turn a chicken's head in front of her eyes to make such a thing 8-O eyes, if you're arguing, I wouldn't pinch myself.

    A very effective solution
    A friend fought with his neighbors like this, and on the advice of one policeman, he did it according to the law.
    He bought rat poison and spread it in the garden, but also installed signs informing about it next to each container, and even put a sign on the fence.
    As he did three years ago, now all he has to do is put up information boards, and no hen appears in the area. :D

    Oh yes - information boards are a very simple and effective way to catch an intruder.
    Admittedly, I only have experience with Attention Dog signs, but they are really effective.
    I have one of these for several years, and it clearly works on homemakers. It's true that dad is obsessed with dogs and there's always a Brytan walking around the yard, but such a delinquent, seeing the sign, doesn't even try to open the gate.
    Tesciunio also had a constant problem with the TURs (Society for Avoiding Robots). Already in the morning they packed the yard and even knocked home to "borrow" 3 zlotys for wine.
    I put up a dog tag. And it ended. I prefer not to take risks. It is true that the father-in-law does not let the dogs out at night, and certainly not during the day, but the information itself gives food for thought.

    So information boards about poison or other danger to chickens may result in a neighbor.

    And the general news is that peasants can't read, :wink:
    But if they die a few hens, they can also read. :D

    If something is in your area, it's yours :) . You'll have chickens for some broth and they'll bring you eggs in the meantime :) .

    patryk.... is right, he proposes a topic: hen attractor, and the topic of guarding one's property will remain the responsibility of the owners of these creatures. :D

    Electronic solutions do not work in the long run (pigeons, moles, voles, mice, rats), if they work at all. A cat and a dog worked well in the garden, an electronic shepherd worked on a dog, and a dog on other people's cats. I have no experience with chickens, but I don't think they are much smarter than pigeons, and they have an electronic scarer under their tail.

    My neighbor's ducks have recently been in my backyard, they have escaped. I drove into the yard and I thought they would run away, but they didn't make it... One of them died a tragic death under the rear wheel. Well, it's hard to keep an eye on yourself.
