Hello we were very excitedly planning to convert our playhouse on stilts into a chicken coop with a run underneath. We told our elderly neighbour and she said fine. The next day I got summoned to her house were she was with her daughter. She said she wasn't happy about us getting chickens and nor was her son and daughter. I didn't really know what to say so I reassured her I wouldn't do anything unless she was happy and that I would do more research. She is most concerned about noise and rats. She tends to get wound up by other people's opinions. She said she would be afraid to leave her back do open in the summer! I don want her to worry, but we were all looking forward to the idea. My neighbour on the other side we should go ahead a get them, but I really don't wan her to be upset and worried. Any advice?
