If you think like a hick (I'm a hick), the solution will practically appear out of the woods:
Spring is coming, and all the sleeping animals come out of their sleeping places yawning and stretching, and downright famished! As a nature lover myself, there's nothing more exciting about watching a mother bear and her two cubs ambling through my backyard, looking for a bird feeder full of, say, chicken feed. My advice to you is to try and forget about the small, helpless smelly noisy chickens being left outside unattended all day and night, and embrace the thrill of watching a bear feeding herself and her hungry cubs.
Maybe you can snap a picture of them and post it on the forum.

We did not say that Alton is in danger of being overrun by farms. How ridiculous! We said that there is a nationwide increasing popularity in raising chickens in residential areas and as a result towns and cities are not prepared with regulations to prevent exactly what we have occurring in our neighborhood with rooster noise. Just google raising chickens and you will be amazed at the problems arising nationwide and even in NH because of this.
I would love to be able to go out in my yard again someday and enjoy my self planted many gardens, birds and wildlfe without having loud noxious roosters drive me back indoors. In fact you are welcome to come and hear them and we will see how long you make it before you go crazy!
