Reminds me of a few years back i used to keep chickens. As i also hatched a few, we ended up with 4 cockerels (bantams as it happens).

Although we live in a country area my next door neighbour complained about the noise of the 4 cockeralls by posting a note through the door moaning how she could no longer sleep at night and demanding i do something about it.

So the same morning i went out, wrung their necks and took them round to the neighbour saying "there you are, what would you like me to do with them?". The neighbour, being an animal lover apparently, was absolutely horrified and said she just wanted me to get rid of them. To which i replied "what did you want me to do ... take them to a rest home or something?"

Unfortunately she had the last laugh as the cockerels , although little, were fierce little things, and had for years kept the foxes away. I didn't realise this at the time but soon found out as the next two nights, all 10 of my hens were killed by the foxes. I gave up keeping chickens after that but it always makes me chuckle when i remember the expression on my irate neighbours face.

A little bit off topic but i thought you all might find it amusing.
