Feral Chickens, Roosters and Poultry
FACT SHEET
•	 The Department of Customer Services is addressing nuisance issues created by feral chickens in our community by helping to bring
new attention, needed resources and a strong policy voice to the persistent concern.
•	 Feral chickens create nuisances by foraging in residential areas, crowing at inconvenient hours, posing health concerns with their
waste and agitating household pets. More roaming chickens mean more nuisances. O‘ahu residents can help manage the nuisance
by not feeding feral chickens and reducing the feral chicken population in their community.
Who do I contact for feral chicken and poultry issues?
•	 The responsibility for responding to feral chickens problems varies with the location of the animals and the property ownership.
	 Options for dealing with feral chicken and poultry nuisances are listed below by property ownership.
Health Nuisances created by feral poultry

foul or noxious odors…sources of filth that are dangerous or may cause sickness or disease)
that are prohibited under HRS Section 322-1, 322-2 and 322-3, please contact the state
Department of Health at 808-586-4708. DOH will conduct an inspection to determine feasible
options and will recommend solutions. They will facilitate enforcement by HPD if needed.

violations created by keeping feral chickens or poultry on
their properties.
