I have the same reason as Cher....any chicken that finds its way into my yard is quickly a dead chicken. We have chickens in neighbourhood (like next door) that nobody lays claim to. Every so often a couple will end up in my yard. All but two have ended up dead. The three that I've been able to save, I've literally had to pry from the dogs jaw and set down over the fence. After they recover from being stunned they run off. I actually had one that I thought was dead but a minute later it hopped up and started running. I had to lock the dogs in the house and chase that chicken around to get it over the fence. I'm sure I was quite the sight.
