I'm not sure what the laws are in your area.
Here's a link to help you figure it out

Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. Where in Hawaii did you live. We have lived both on the big island and on Oahu. Some other good sites for researching breeds are http://albc-usa.etapwss.com/images/uploads/docs/pickachicken.pdf and http://www.mypetchicken.com/chicken-breeds/breed-list.aspx. Also, Murray McMurray has an excellent "chick selector" tool at https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/chick_selector.html to help you determine which breeds are best for you. Just be sure to click on "show more characteristics." If you are looking for persoanl recommendations, I would recommend Black Australorps. I have raised them since 1979 and they are extremely hardy. I've had raised them both in northern Kansas where the temperatures dropped to 30 F below zero one winter, and in CA where summer temperatures frequently reached 117-118 F (123 F once), and in both climate extremes, they came through like troopers. They are also very calm and gentle. My children, and now my granddaughter (pictured in my avatar), made lap pets of them. And they are the best layers of the standard, brown egg laying breeds. A Black Australorp holds the brown egg laying record with 364 eggs in 365 days, and while none of mine have ever reached that kind of production (and likely never will), I've still had a few of them lay over 300 eggs in a year. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Whatever breeds you decide to get, good luck with your flock.

Hello & welcome, I'm sure you will instantly fall for these comical critters as we all have. B.T.W. this is by far the best forum I have ever been on.
