Aloha! I live on Maui in Kihei. I got free hens because they are feral but they're doing well, 4 months old now. I'm waiting for eggs. The only problem I'm having is keeping them out of the trees. To buy egg layers here they want $45 per hen!! I'm trying the cheap and organic way.
I have three 4 month old hens. They haven't given any eggs yet. They have a nice coop surrounded by a 10'x5' enclosed run. I let them out to free range in the mornings but around 4 pm they fly/hop into the trees above the coop. I can mostly trick them into the run with corn kernels but I'm...
