I don't know what size the lots are where the original poster is going to be living. In HPP, where I live, they are mostly an acre. We do have a chicken coop. But, there seems to be a constant procession of chickens wandering onto, and often moving, onto our lot. I sometimes trap them in a cage and give them away. And while I don't kill and butcher them, my neighbor does butcher them. So, this f I am unable to catch them, I sometimes have to kill the birds myself, and give them to my neighbor to butcher them.
I can tell you that, even the very inexpensive Daisy Model 880 multi a pump air rifle, with a scope, and shooting lead pellets, once sighted in, will take wild chickens quietly and unobtrusively. Of course a safe backstop is mandatory. Out to 10-15 yards, the $40 880 works fine.
