The ones we had did pretty well by themselves, all hens(7) freebees from a Hilo chicken farm. Had to wait 4 hours in line to get em, but we did. They thrived in Fern Forest(of course all were going into their 2nd molt so no eggs), they looked like hell,but survived.
Awhile later we went to Kalapana for a few days to dry out, upon return there were beautiful huge eggs all over the place.
But that was 30 years ago, today's breeding might have changed them into cage hardy birds, not suited for free range.
