I would imagine if "wild chicken" - or whatever they are called in the wild - are anything like quail, they would be pretty easy to catch. As a boy I used to catch quail with very little in the way of "tools". I used to catch lots of things - snakes, lizards, small birds. I'm pretty sure that if an 8-10 year old boy can do it, an experienced adult hunter-gatherer would have no problem. At all.
