The Chicken Drama: An Egg-ceptional Neighborhood Tale
In a neighborhood where peace was once the norm, a chicken-loving resident finds themselves in a fowl situation. The kids next door, under the indifferent watch of their overwhelmed single mom, have taken to stealing eggs from the resident’s chickens. Despite attempts to childproof the yard, lock the gate, and even offer the eggs freely, the chicken bandits persist. In a desperate bid to restore order, the resident calls the police, leading to a tearful confrontation with the mother and a divided neighborhood. The question remains: was our chicken-loving resident in the right? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this egg-straordinary situation…

NTA, you tried to resolve it several different ways before resorting to the police.

Neighbor calls out irresponsible parent, suggests involving authorities.

NTA. Home-owners legally responsible for property. Sympathy ≠ ignoring boundaries.

NTA. Parenting is hard, but letting kids steal chickens?

NTA. Concern for children’s safety. Ignored neighbor causes tension.

NTA. Kids and dogs can be a dangerous combination.

“NTA UGGHHH I lived in an area where there were tons of these type of people. They just KEPT. HAVING. KIDS. They had no money to support their 5 or so children, just government funding, would smoke a lot, and just let their kids do whatever they want. One little girl, she was only 6, asked me to show her where I keep my money. I never let her near me again. I just wanted to shove bags of condoms under all their doors along with information on how to recieve free birth control. I’ve found that a lot of it is lack of education, lack of boundaries growing up, and being less well off because of these things. It sucks, it’s frustrating, and I feel for them, but there’s only so much you can do before you need to protect yourself. Calling the police was ABSOLUTELY the right thing to do, no question. If they break in again, call again. If their mom isn’t willing to parent them, let the law do it for her.”

Handling it yourself, NTA. Hopefully mom learns a lesson

NTA. Report her to CPS for neglecting her kids.
