Damn city boys.
Any country boy knows chickens can fly. The lighter ones such as bantams can do pretty good. Heavier breeds such as a Buff Orpington can't even get their butts off the ground.
Old folks used to let the bantams raise in the woods, since they'd roost in the trees. For any flyers you have in a regular chicken pen, you clip the feathers on the end of one wing and they can't fly out of the pen.
I worry about y'all...

I discovered that wild turkeys actually fly quite gracefully when our dog chased one. They're more graceful in the air than they are on the ground, at least, which isn't saying much. We're completely inundated with the bloody things here - we had 3 young ones stuck in our back yard last week, with the mother going nuts next door. Smart they are not.

Wild turkeys?
Shotgun to the head or a rifle just kinda to the top or past the thigh. Don't want to mess up any more meat than you have to, although wild turkey does tend to be dry.
If they could smell as well as deer, you couldn't hardly kill them.
