RAMSEY (AP) — Neighbors of an upscale neighborhood in a Twin Cities suburb are taking a family to court over its backyard brood of chickens and a potbellied pig.

Tom and Edie Harer brought the chickens to their Northfork neighborhood home in Ramsey last spring, and Peter, the pig, arrived shortly after, the Star Tribune reported.

The Harers received a letter about their chickens from their homeowners association in October and were sued by mid-December.

“They’re throwing a lawsuit at us, and we will be responding,” Edie Harer said.

The association alleges that the pig, chickens and outdoor structures the animals inhabit violate Northfork’s governing documents.

Soon after the city opted to allow backyard chickens, the Northfork Homeowners Association revised its policy for animals and banned livestock, according to letters submitted to the City Council.
