They used to have chickens, but they ran away. They got tired of being cooped up.

They should throw eggs at their neighbor’s house.

That just begs to have chicken and rooster sounds piped into the backyard area at frequent intervals. Like when the neighbors are outside…. doesn’t even need to be loud – just that quiet, insidious “buuuuuck, buck buck buck, buuuuuck!”

Uh excuse me, if they don’t have any chickens, then where did all those eggs under the sign come from, huh? Oh right, they’re colorful so they came from the Easter Bunny.
…These people have the Easter Bunny chained up in their basement where they force him to lay eggs all day for less than minimum wage and no benefits such as dental! Call 911!

One of these days, I’ll stay awake long enough to find out which of the neighbors in my Seattle suburb honestly does have a rooster that crows all g**d*** day, and I’m going to leave a box of Stove Top in their mailbox.
But I promise that first I’ll make sure that I have the right house, ’cause otherwise some poor innocent soul will be dreadfully confused.

Aren’t they also chicken for not talking with the neighbor who first reported that they have chickens? The passive aggressive circle jerk continues.

So, neighbors call the cops to report sign-neighbor has chickens that sign-neighbor doesn’t have?
If so, how is sign-neighbor’s sign not as “chicken” as the neighbor not just asking them first? Sign neighbor could just go over and ask them what’s up with the chicken report?
A sign with “#Our neighbor is a chicken” seems kind of ironic

Of course they don’t have chickens in the backyard. They keep their chickens indoors. Having outdoor chickens would be cruel.

Where did the colored eggs go in the bottom picture? Did the photographer steal them?

This is my sister’s submission, the neighbor anonymously reported her… So she didn’t know who it was. But apparently they like to report everyone in the general area, so we think we know now

I have to say – I’ve never understand this attitude. The one where people say, ‘I don’t understand why they didn’t come and ask us. Chickens.’ What is so freakin’ hard about understanding that if someone suspects that you are doing something wrong in some capacity – telling someone that might be responsbile for policing such a thing is a much easier and safer thing to do than to confront the people directly? Let’s say they had chickens – how exactly would that conversation had gone? ‘Uhm, we hear clucking noises, do you have chickens?’ ‘Why yes, we have chickens.’ ‘Well, I should let you know that’s prohibited.’ ‘Thanks – f off.’

I agree that it’s the safer thing to do. I used to live in a complex that required us to abstain from complaining directly to each other for that very reason. I was amused one day to find out my neighbor had reported that my secret – and very invisible – pet duck was keeping her awake when I let him out at night. (I’ve told that story here before. The frogs in the ditch behind our building sounded like ducks). I wouldn’t have minded her asking me instead of reporting me, but she might have minded my laughter.

Lil’, I read that as: “That should be #14 under MY BAD.” Like you have a list.
