I'm thinking about getting hens for seeking out coquis in the daytime. I have a huge clump of bananas pretty near my house that is infested, and I don't think I can clean it up with spray -- too many hiding spots.
BUT I don't want roosters, so I don't want to buy unsexed chicks or even take a chance on mistakenly sexed chicks.
I've never bought chickens before and have no clue who sells them.
I live in Papa`ikou and ideally would want a Hamakua side source ... lord knows there are plenty of chickens in the camps nearby.
I feel lucky that we happen not to have roosters nearby and don't want to change this most pleasant lack of crowing by stupidly importing one that will go wild and be impossible to catch in the gulch.
