On Thursday, I was falsely accused of harboring chickens in my backyard. Yes, chickens! I may have some in my fridge that I bought at the grocery store, but I did not know that was against the law. Anyway, Jacksonville code enforcement representatives appeared at my door to search for the hidden fowl. I gave them the grand tour and as they suspected there were no chickens! Don’t get me wrong… I am not mad at the code enforcement officers for doing their job. I am mad at the noisy neighbor who reported the incident anonymously and without merit. Of course I voiced my concern to the code enforcement office.The neighbor falsely accused of harboring chickens made signs and put them in the yard. Here is what one of the signs read:
NO!! WE DON'T HAVE CHICKENS OR ROOSTERS! BUT...YOU ARE A CHICKEN BY NOT ASKING US FIRST!
