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.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me about your experience with the wild chickens in Hawaii. Looks like you visited Kauai shortly after Hurricane Iniki. It is believed that the wild chickens on Kauai are descendants of those that escaped coops during Hurricane Iwa (1982) & Hurricane Iniki (1992). So in 1994 I don't think there was as much wild chickens compared to recent years. I love the you temporarily adopted Isabel during your visit to O'ahu in 2018 and that she is the reason you ended up getting pet chickens! What a special story!

The roosters are definitely something to get used to. I grew up around them, so I don't even notice them crowing most of the time! 😅

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! 💕
