Someone dubbed the ‘crazy chicken lady’ has been accused of being the UK’s most annoying neighbour. As her nickname suggests, she has a large number of pet chickens that tend to be quite noisy.

Lucia Lawrence was served with a noise abatement order after neighbours complained that her cockerels would crow from as early as 2am. While the UK has their own laws around keeping chickens as pets, Cape Town has it’s own by-laws.

City of Cape Town residents can keep five chickens without a permit. Any number over five will require a permit, including if you want to keep a rooster.
