Hawaii considers allowing residents to humanely kill feral chickens due to population surge and public nuisance.
Hawaii lawmakers are advancing legislation that would allow residents to humanely kill feral chickens on their property, following a surge in the population since the pandemic.
The birds, known for early morning crowing, yard damage, and aggressive behavior, have caused widespread frustration, with complaints rising 51% in 2025.
Proposed measures would classify feral chickens as a “controllable pest” on public land and impose fines for feeding or releasing them.
While some lawmakers and residents support lethal control due to ineffective non-lethal efforts, others, including cultural practitioners and animal advocates, oppose it, citing the birds’ historical significance as descendants of Polynesian voyagers.
The debate highlights a growing tension between public nuisance concerns and cultural preservation.
