Aloha from Hawaii

Hi Nohea

I've heard only bad things about Hale Malu, so I won't go wasting my time their. I've already got my Black Copper Marans from Chicken Scratch Poultry. They are wonderful to work with and ALL 20 of my BCM babies survived the long trip from Illinois.

As for my Orpingtons, they are such SWEETHEARTS. You should get some, you won't be disappointed. They are so friendly and love to be held. I call them lap chickens. Nice to see some locals on the site!

I'll upload my pics of my babies real soon. Thanks!
 
Aloha from the Big Island!!

I mostly lurk on the marans, ameruacana and a few other threads so missed this post. I need to start checking the "new member introduction" page regularly.

I would love to find a group of chicken people on the Big Island to chat with.

I have a few extra marans cockerels I need to find homes for if anyone is interested. They are 4 months old.

Aloha!

Aloha big islanders! Loving the info I'm finding in this site. But so good to know that there are locals on here as well. There are a lot of Hawaii related questions I have too.

Aloha from Maui,

Finding the right source for chicks is so much harder when practically no one will ship to you. There are local hatcheries, Asagi on Oahu, and Hale Malu (they for sure have Marans) on Maui. I assume both ship to the other islands. I heard a rumor that the McMurry hatchery would ship here. You'd have to make special arrangements with them over the phone. On Maui we also get lots of people moving their birds on craigslist. I got all 8 of my Muscovy ducks that way. I got my Easter Eggers by placing a wanted add on craigslist. We also bought chicks from Dell's feed store this spring, but the breed choice were real limited.

I'm eager to hear about other islanders poultry experiences. Do you have any pics of your flock? Are your Buff Orpingtons sweet as pie? I've never kept them but they're said to have the nicest personalities.

Ideal Poultry (http://www.idealpoultry.com/) also ships to Hawaii. I ordered chicks from them back when I lived on the big island and was satisfied with them. I don't think that they carry Black Copper Marans however, just the Cuckoo Marans.
