Hello from Gilroy, CA

Since the OP has chickens, predator issues will be an issue from time to time. It maybe prudent to invest some time and a little cash in learning to set a few basic foot hold traps for fox, I think that you would find it very rewarding.

Are there any that are legal in California?

I would recommend a 22 air rifle. Some of the new stuff is incredibly functional for pest control.

Something like this?

Update
This morning I spoke with Fish & Game and was told that I do not need a depredation permit.

Hello everyone. We have no experience with firearms, and I am hoping to get some tips on getting rid of the two foxes that are eating our chickens.

I look forward to hearing what you all have to say!

Update.

I attended a hunter education course yesterday and passed the test.

It was a great experience and I learned a lot.

Welcome from central Arizona. Great shooting pellet rifle in 22 cal or a handy 22 rimfire should do it. Do lots of practice at the distances you're typically seeing them. Check your local regulations on shooting and have at it.
