My ducks are still ducklings but I don't think they will be any louder then that rooster.

My house is a landmark & is on the record as a farm so my neighbors can't say too much. Dog barking is about all they can complain about. The house is neat. It was used as a hospital after the civil war. And again after WW1. In fact there is a grave under my brick patio & we've found a few grave stones. About 30 yrs ago the last owner's had a tree come down, in the hole were found bones, like arms & legs. Some people think I was nuts to buy the house but it is very peaceful here & no ghosts have bothered me. We even have a hidden room. The 1st part of the house dates to 1834. I have a nice barn & a chicken coop, paddocks & a swimming pool. Next I am getting rain barrels since I have a well & if the power goes out I need water for the animals.

“like arms & legs”

Thanks for the info on the ducks. And I doubt you have to worry about complaints on the dogs, as the neighbors probably view you as the crazy person that bought that old haunted house!

Battlefield medicine sure has come a long ways since the “chop off the limb” surgeries of the Civil War.
