How can I kill the neighbors chickens?

[adrenalinejunki 0]

The guy that lives 2 houses down from me has around 100 chickens that he just lets run loose all the time. Our house has some really nice land scaping and they are tearing it all to hell. Flower beds look like shit because of all the scratching and the chicken shit all over the carport keeps getting stepped in by everyone. He will not put them up in the pen that he already has. I have put out rat poison and dry rice for them in the flower beds and that did nothing. So far the only way I have found to get rid of them is by shooting them. But even that makes the yard stink if I don't pick them up and dispose of them. My rifle and I are deadly at longer ranges and I am thinking of shooting them in his yard........hahahaha. The only problem with that is that I can't make a safe shot down that way. There are houses farther down that way thru the brush and trees. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Get a rambunctious dog. Forget to put him in his pen. Problem solved, and you get a new best buddy.

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

buy a dog. worked for a neighbour of ours. we had a couple dozen chickens in a pen, the dog would come over, wait for them to stick their heads out through the mesh, then bite them off.

Or even better dog sit for a friends dog...or just borrow one for a few weeks. That way if you dont really want one you are in the position to just give it back. But even better, find someone with a hunting dog, and have it stalk the chickens out of the yard

This is actually AWESOME for you. Follow these steps and you can have good BBQ's.

1. Catch chicken. Hang it by it's neck with a rope against a hard surface.

2. Get axe. Cut off the chickens head and watch it run around with blood squirting out its neck. (This is cool)

3. After chicken stops running around and flopping on the ground pick it up and place it in boiling water for a few seconds. Pull out of boiling water.

4. Begin pulling its feathers out. Then take out its innards. Once all the feathers and innards are out you have cook ready chicken.

5. Grill, cook or fry chicken.

Now you have lunch or dinner in your yard everyday. This will save you thousands of dollars yearly.

Inform your neighbor that the next time you see chicken on your property they will be shot like a wild animal. Then follow previous recommendations for a BBQ.

But watching a dog hunt them down could be fun too.

1. Guns-quick but can be messy and clean up is a biotch. Plus you may ruin the meat.
2. Dogs-I just love a good chase! Plus no need to feed the dogs!
3. Round up chickens in yard, and take to butcher. its just easier than butchering yourself.
4. Buy beer, call all your skydiving buddies, and have a hella loud BBQ, and cook everything that walks on your property.

(all have been suggested earlier, I see)

BB/pellet gun - less worries about 'over' shots

Blue heeler - the dog will run the chickens to death herding them and have a blast doing it.

buy yourself a Colonel Sanders outfit and erect KFC signs on the front of your house.

alternatively, train up an undercover chicken to infiltrate the coup to insite a mutiny and/or a cult culminating in a mass chicken suicide pact.


Easy peasy.

The dog will work but beware: once a dog starts killing chickens, they won't stop. It triggers some predator thing in their head and it's next to impossible to change their ways.

Next thing you know the dog will be in the neighbors yard going after the chickens...and your dog will be shot

I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback that wanted to kill everything - my dads chickens, the neighbors cats, possumn, rabbits, squirels...

Get in - Get off - Get away....repeat as neccessary

Great idea! Sounds like something straight out of a Wallace & Grommit adventure!

Make friends with the chickens. Take them skydiving with you. Sport rigs don't fit on chickens. See how well they fly.

It may be gross but maggots are your answer. Kill a couple with your riffle and put them out back somewhere and wait for maggot infestation then throw them towards the neighbors place. The other chickens will think they have found a feast but instead will be dooming theirselves to death. Don't ask my why but it works. I grew up on a farm and we had to watch this close, any dead animals had to be removed from where the chickens may go looking for food.

As for not being able to stop a dog from killing chickens once he gets started, its hard to do but can be accomplished. You have to spot the dog chasing a chicken, assess the chickens path, hide behind a tree or other obstical next to the path, watch the chicken go by, then swing a big stick really hard and knock the dog out as he passes. !!!! very important, the dog must not see you or it will not work !!!! When he comes to he will think the chicken knocked him out and will never chase chickens again. This will work, I have seen it proven many times and never fails if performed correctly.

That is the funniest thing I have ever heard of.

[azureriders 0]

What? Killing chickens or stoping dogs from killing them. I find both to be pretty funny

Great suggestion but even better, each time you prepare the above feast, invite the neighbor in question over for a chicken dinner.
