re: Easiest way to kill wild chickens in neighborhood?

There were about 5-6 of them roaming in my Mid-City area about 2 years ago. A hen with chicks that were real small, but grew pretty damn fast.

Once the chicks got their wing feathers and strong enough to fly, they'd fly up into an oak tree across the street to roost at night.

Between feral cats, the occasional stray dog and maybe some opportunistic hungry person, they disappeared in about 6 months.


I was getting ready to off them with my .177 pellet gun when I noticed the numbers decreasing pretty fast.

I have probably killed a hundred or more pigeons over the years when a neighbor behind me had an open attic that a large flock would roost in every night. Pigeon shite everywhere until he finally closed off their access.
