Hello everyone,
Since I got the squirrel gun figured out, I need your help with another choice. My wife here in last year has gotten into chickens out here at our house. We have 40 some chickens now and they are let out during the day to roam about. She feeds them food in the yard front and back. Since then the starlings and sparrows are everywhere. They are crapping on the equipment and vehicles outside around the barn. I’m fed up and need to start shooting them. My .25s are too much for that and too expensive as far as pellets go for birds. So I am looking for a.177 for this job. I am fine with a good quality springer or a high shot count pcp. Really don’t need high power that’s why a Springer would work just fine. I have a compressor now so I can fill with it. Shots distance is from 20yds to 50 usually. Now they do have a tendency to hang out on our pasture where they can be 100 to 200 yds. I don’t care as long as they stay out of my yards. What do you guys think?
