Kauai Chickens

[cfonts]

One thing that got me through the pandemic last year was visiting the park near my home and hanging out with the chickens. I'm from Kauai, which is home to countless wild roosters and hens. One thing that I really enjoyed doing during my visits to the park was taking photos of the chickens. I thought I'd start a thread and share some photos here of the beautiful chickens of Kauai! I hope you all will enjoy the photos!









If any of you have ever been to Kauai, I'd love to hear about your experience with the Kauai chickens! If you have photos, feel free to share them here! I'll be sure to share more photos soon!

I love them! Especially the Bielefelder roosters!

I'm so happy to hear that you're familiar with the Bielefelder chicken! It took me months to figure out what breed he was!

I just got 4 pullets and 1 suprise cockerel and I love them! I started a thread on here about them. It’s called the Bielefelder thread.

Beautiful chickens, thanks for sharing your pictures!

Thank you for sharing! I especially like the one that has the hen with some extra little feet under her.

Oh, I didn’t even notice that!

Was in Kauai in 1994 had Peacocks at the resort but not a lot of chickens.
Since then we have been to Oahu many times and they have lots of chickens too. The last time we were there, 2018, we short term adopted a hen to be our pet during our vacation. She would visit us several times a day, I would feed her treats and I even let her in our house, shhhhh, it was a rental. She was the only friendly one of all the ones on the property. We named her Isabel after the dog we had to leave with family while we vacationed.
This hen, Isabel, is the reason I bought a couple chickens for pets.
I don't have a pic of her handy but I believe she was a barred rock.
Two years before then, we were again on Oahu. My son was with us. He hated the roosters. There was one that every morning, outside his bedroom, would crow at around 4-4:30.
He was very happy when I said I was only having hens. Lol
Beautiful birds you get to hang with.

Fun fact about the first photo: I was trying to take photos of some chickens at the park, when this young cockerel popped his head in front of my camera
