We live on Oahu.
We've thought about it, but likely no. Our landlord is already not excited about us having roosters and is eager for them to go. We are also out of the house for most of the day so I worry that he would not do well in isolation. He may not hang close to the rest of the boys...
Thanks, there's plenty of food and water for them and no natural predators which is why the feral chicken population is out of control here. The survival I'm not so worried about, I'm sure all but Mo would thrive in the jungle.
Hi there! We have 4 roos, that we rescued when they were about a week old. The plan has always been to rescue them and then either return them to the wild, or preferably find a home, but now that they are grown and have established their pecking order, I have some concerns.

Hi there! My fiancée brought home some feral chicks that were abandoned over by Makapuu about 4 months ago. They were only a few days old at the time, and we've been trying to find a home for them since then with no luck. They are all domesticated and friendly, especially Mo' who loves being...

One of our chicks chirp is much quieter than it used to be, she’s still making noises but it sound almost muted. She is the smallest, and always seems to be off doing her own thing and stays away from the other 3. I always thought she was just an oddball, but I’m starting to worry she might be...
In regards to the overcrowding, the tub comes out to about 19 square feet which is around 4.75 square per chick which seems to be well over the size as far as I’m reading….Ill try and isolate the instigator for a bit and see if the rest calm down a bit
Hi there, we rescued 4 feral chicks here in Hawaii when they were abandoned by their mother. This is our first time with chickens so its been a learning experience. We brought them home when they were around a week old and have had them for a week and a half. They've been doing fine since we had...
