re: Easiest way to kill wild chickens in neighborhood?

I have a couple buddies that were arrested in college for shooting a BB gun at things they weren’t supposed to like street signs from their front porch. So just be careful as your neighbors/ certain law enforcement may not take that any lighter then just using like a .22.

Given that, maybe try to trap them with a cage trap first? Go from there. If your shoot them with a pellet gun they likely aren’t going to just fall over but rather run or fly off and die.
