Easiest way to kill wild chickens in neighborhood?

Not sure how, but we have 3 chickens roaming our hood, and they are destroying everyone's front landscaping.
What's the best way to get rid of these things, considering I can't use firearms or explosives in a neighborhood? I may try a pellet gun if I can get an angle that is only going towards my house (I don't want my neighbors thinking I am shooting at their houses).

Its just a chicken. Just go pick the damn thing up. If you can't catch it, feed it a couple of nights, then you can catch it. If you cover its head it will stop moving, they are dumb in the dark.

You could always test yourself. Rope the chicken! I watched an 80 year old man heel chickens all day in his yard where I used to ride horses at back in Carlyss. Old man had more stories that you could shake a stick at....but he could sure rope a chicken with baling twine.

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.

They belong to one of your neighbors who isn’t properly containing them.

Call the HOA?

That's what I figured. Yesterday I put up signs around the hood stating that the chickens will be killed if seen roaming free. I have not seen them yet today.

They aren't.

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.
