A woman could lose her birds and be forced to kill several others, after a magistrates court insisted the animals have no place living on her land - which is so close to a village.
Animal lover Jess Marson, 33, could now be forced to cull her seven cockerels who crow early in the morning from a field that has been part of a countryside farm for more than a century.
The mourning chorus has been blasted by annoyed neighbours - who live close to the farm.
