Don’t feed chickens
This letter is in regards to the island chickens.
I don’t dislike chickens, I kept chickens for years. We had acreage and no one was bothered by them.
Fast forward 20 years living here on Kauai, had a new neighbor move in to subdivision right next door. At first seemed like a nice lady, we talked about being good neighbors, keep communication.
Then she started feeding the chickens, before you knew it we had six to seven roosters around the house crowing morning, noon and night.
Had a talk with her, explained how disruptive the noise was, nothing changed. Wrote a letter to her explaining how we were being tortured by the incessant crowing, she continued feeding them.
Now she is feeding them under her house thinking we don’t notice. So much for our friendly relationship.
My thought is if you live in rural area and crowing isn’t bothering anyone, fine.
But if you are annoying your neighbors with this activity, please show some “aloha” and do not encourage chickens to roost in your neighbors back yard.
