Rural environment: the noise of roosters causes conflicts between neighbors
(France 2)
In Brittany, a new affair sows a grudge in the village. This time it’s not a farm, but a private one that keeps chickens and roosters. Neighbors threaten to complain.
Mother dreamed of living in the countryside with chickens. The teams of 13 hours met her at Lanvallay in Côtes-d’Armor. In 2020, she decided to install a chicken coop with three roosters. Neighbors then complained about the noise. They are asking him to reduce poultry stocks. She complies, but the neighbors are not satisfied and plan to take legal action. However, the owner respects the number of poultry permitted by law.
Law limiting penalty
The mayor took up the matter. We need to find common ground for him. He understands that this could cause embarrassment, given that we “is a bit out of the way very small family hen house”. These conflicts are not uncommon in rural areas. On Tuesday, March 12, the Senate voted down legislation to limit appeals against agricultural operations deemed too noisy.
