Thanks for the Video link- and I think we have the Frog problem in hand- Turns out they like hanging out inside open white PVC pipes to sing their love songs from. I'll harvest the pipes every morning by capping them off and dispatch them humanely by dropping them into the Chicken coops. http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/coqui/refugia.asp
Citric Acid spray is also supposed to be good for eradication. http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/coqui/spray.asp
Here is a story that actually welcomes the frog- http://www.killerculture.com/enviro...illing-earth/the-hawaiian-coqui/#.Vi_56_mrTIU (not me)
and here are two more options for taking care of them - through http://www.keepkonaquiet.org/2010/04/baking-soda-for-coqui-frogs.html
"Agent Green" developed by orchardist David Davis. This solution of acidic calcium sulfate, he said, is nontoxic, half the cost of citric acid and approved by the Food and Drug Administration.and Agent White - [my title not theirs] that is plain baking soda or sodium bicarbonate. In larger doses, this will kill lawns and other "good" flora and is not currently approved in the US for frog control but it is cheap.
Yeah, I have been there, heard them and want to know how to get rid of them. If it helps to feed my chickens, so much the better!

we got 3 baby chicks from Kaneohe Farm Supply in August and then two more about a month later when I was having doubts about two from our first batch being girls. Turns out they're all girls, or at least I think they are since we just hit 24 weeks old for the first batch and 21 weeks for the second batch. No ones crowing at least! No ones laying eggs either though 
has anyone else had this happen with their pullets? I assumed that since we don't have the extreme winter conditions like on the mainland that it wouldn't delay their egg laying. Maybe I just got a batch of late bloomers
