    Hawaii -- Mongoose Issues

    While the Invasive Species guys deny we have mongooses on Kaua'i, we spotted 2 over the last 2 years in Kalaheo near the coffee fields. Something made two large holes in our coop (coated chicken wire over a metal frame) one night and shredded all hens but left the eggs. Anyone else on Kaua'i...

    Black breasted red jungle fowl

    We live amongst red jungle fowl on Kaua'i and there are many that look like your baby. The speckles here result from interbreeding with barred hens that escaped en masse during two hurricanes (Iwa and Iniki) that destroyed every coop on the island. They make for very friendly alarm clocks and...
