Oahu - Need Safe Home for 1 Rooster/3-5 Hens

[raingarden]

I only know the leg band thing from second hand info. It probably applies to neighbors living within the home range of a feral flock.

I have impeccable redneck credentials. Been here for decades but still feel like a stranger in a strange land. It's all good though.

Culture just is what it is and everybody has one.

While lookig for something else this was stumbled upon today. Perhaps, it's too much information about the culture of chicken fighting in Hawaii. It was published in 1984. Since then the sugar industry has collapsed and plantation worker camps are sort of a thing of the past.

Aloha,

I live on the island of Oahu - Based on initial reports, the Honolulu city council passed a law today that allows chickens to be fed poisonous food to euthanize them. The island of Oahu now views them as pests and plans to eradicate them with the same prejudice as that of other rodents such as rats and mice.

In the past, the military bases have hired contracted "pest" control that catches the chickens and destroys them through gassing them with carbon dioxide that burns the chickens tissues while still alive and slowly suffocating them to death. If they survive the initial gassing, they are thrown into the gas chamber with the next batch. It's inhumane.

After three years of no issues in our neighborhoods, there has been an increase in new complaints by newly PCS'd residents in military housing that are bored, anxious, miserable, depressed, entitled, and anything between. Naturally, complaining about chickens gives them something to feel better about and relate to other people with similar feelings rather than appreciating the fact that chickens eat the centipedes, roaches, and ants that people typically do not want inside of their home (myself included).

Today, the housing office told a resident complaining that they plan to use this new food in combination with calling their contracted pest control to completely kill off the entire chicken population in our housing area in the coming weeks.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a rescue organization that is able to take the 1 rooster and 3-5 hens on the island of Oahu? Does anyone have any recommended places to re-home them in the wild?

I have been on this island for 3 years and had no issues. Now, the same wild chickens that I watched being hatched/grow up are either going to be gassed to death or fed poisonous food - There are at least 6 other chickens that hang out around our street. However, I do not know where they roost and I cannot save them all.

Please help me re-home the ones that I consider my friends.

Hi, I dont have facebook but I found that while looking for sanctuaries. You’ll need a fb account and request to join since they are private.

I had no idea this was a new bill and Im really disgusted.

This is the sanctuary page:

Hope this helps. Thank you for having such a kind heart.
