Aren’t they the ultimate free-range chickens? I am surprised they are not captured and eaten. I saw them when I was there 25 years ago.
Yeah, right?! I’ve been going to Hawaii for many years, too, but never really noticed them, or if I did, don’t remember. This year it was really memorable! 🙂
We were at the Waimea Canyon and no one else was there. We kept hearing “things” in the woods and it was a little scary until the chickens came out.
LOL!!!
Chickens and fresh eggs = happy breakfast. 🙂
😀 !
Free range chickens. Do they send texts to their owners showing how happy they are? You know I saw a commercial like that on television. Cool life they have. XOXO – Bacon
If I had to free-range, Hawaii would be where *I’d* wanna do it! 🙂
Amen! XOXO – Bacon
Congratulations!
Thanks!!! And now I have chickens on my resume along with ducks! 🙂
As long as they’re not on your plate. 😉
Right! 🙂
Great article – I’m amazed that so many have survived – there mustn’t be too many predators there.
Here (and most other places) if you leave them outside for even a moment and turn your back, something swoops from above, jumps the fence, digs under the pen…etc, etc…and scores themselves a chicken dinner 😦
I know! We have the same issue here in NY with our ducks! Hawaii is one of those special cases. They have had bad luck with introduced species in the past so they are especially vigilant about predatory animals. Good news for those chickens!!!
Did you ever see the wild parrots in Brooklyn NY?
No, I haven’t! We had some in L.A., tho. Pretty but rather on the loud side. 🙂
In the 1960’s (I think) a truck let a bunch of parrots destined to be pets escape by mistake. These parrots quickly multiplied. If you look up you see huge nests on telephone poles and buildings. http://brooklynparrots.com/
PS, I hope you didn’t have frost issues again last night. Was 50 degrees here this morning. Brrrr. 😉
