It might hurt them but a bb in the butt will sting. I’m not talking a pellet gun. Which yes a pellet will hurt them. Or rifle to kill it.
Should I warn neighbor that dog might get shot?

To each their own. I guess with your own risk. I would rather someone pop mine in the butt with a BB gun than shot them in the head….

For the OP; call your local Animal Control, and the local law, and look up what your state's 'loose dog' and 'livestock ' rules actually are.
Catching a nice dog, and taking it to the shelter, is a good idea. Trying to catch a not so nice dog can get you injured, not best.
While this situation is ongoing, keep your birds in! These dogs won't be your only predators, and your flock needs a safe place to be, when free ranging isn't possible.
File a complaint, call to file another complaint, every time there's an incident. These dog owners are idiots, and need to be 'educated', and owe you for any dead or injured birds, and any other damaged property.
Responsible animal owners might have an escapee very occasionally, and try hard to prevent such incidents, and pay for any damages caused by their critter.

Also, deliberately injuring these dogs will be considered animal abuse most places. Shoot to kill, safely, or don't shoot at all.

Agreed if she injured it she could end up losing all her animals because she is a "animal abuser"

I had the same issue two years ago. I called the sheriff, he suggested shooting them. That's a whole new can of worms if you pull that trigger (see what I did there?).
Called the neighboring town's dog catcher who policed the rurals and he came by a few times but couldn't nab them.
Either way we wound up moving into town but this issue isn't an easy one to solve. Good luck with that, I do mean it.
