How to keep chickens in the city without disturbing the neighbors? Feng Fengyi keeps four Gigis.

"Last August, these four laying hens rode the train, slowly swaying from Yuanlin in Changhua to Taipei, and then I rode my scooter and carried them home from Songshan Railway Station..." Taipei urban chicken keeper Feng Fengyi started raising chickens after a friend's recommendation, and has now kept them at her Taipei home for more than ten months; half a year ago, the four laying hens grew into pullets and began laying eggs, and so far each hen has laid an average of more than 200 eggs.

But when keeping chickens in a residential area, if the rearing methods are even slightly careless, the smell of chicken manure and the crowing of hens may trigger dissatisfaction and complaints from nearby neighbors. Last month, Feng Fengyi received a "peace disturbance advisory notice," with the reason for the report written as: "Top-floor owner-occupant keeps chickens, rooster crowing," "Neighbors say, we live in Taipei City, we don't need chickens to crow to wake us up!" Feng helplessly said that this was the first report she had received in ten months of keeping chickens, "but this one alone is serious enough! I don't want to become a bad neighbor either!"

How can you keep chickens and still be a good neighbor? This is precisely the biggest challenge for urban chicken keepers.
