Soon after visitors to Kauai drive away from the airport and head to their lodgings, they’ll see chickens—roosters, hens, and adorable baby chicks--on roadsides, crossing city streets, in parking lots, and in open fields.
We marveled at the chickens on Kauai also when we were there the spring just after Iniki. The only thing we did not enjoy about them was the roosters crowing at 4 am every morning!
That has been a complaint from many visitors. We've been here for 5 months and have never heard a rooster crowing in the early morning. But we have dense jungle where we're living, so that probably is why.
We live in a neighborhood where a number of families have chickens. It took us a year to get used to the roosters too! Especially in the middle of the night. The weird thing is that ducks can be loud too.
Do you get to keep the eggs? Happy Easter!
We buy our eggs like everybody else so we can ooh and aah over the baby chicks!

And instead of the roosters, we have doves, that coo coo coo coo.........at any time of day, including dawn!

And don’t forget geese. Guard geese bellow fiercely!
