Well, minimum 6 dogs is a pack. A pack of the neighbors dogs barking at people in your driveway might turn into a pack of dogs attacking someone in your driveway. Anybody who'd quote the Texas laws on how their dogs have a right to run free likely understands that the frame of mind in Texas would permit you to shoot their darn dogs with something much greater than a BB gun if they come on your property and attack you and yours. Boo, what do you have against poor old chickens? Those dogs won't "chase" them, they'll have them for lunch. And the feud continues.
