Rooster farms in HPP mapped. HEY Sputnut!

[mac nut]

the rooster farm on paradise and 16th is my landmark that my street to turn off on is coming up[] 15th

[reni]

probably not the best idea to consider HPP . Roosters are here and they are legal.
One would have to go.......the weight or the attitude. Any malahini telling his local neighbor what will and will not be tolerated generally needs to be in running shape.

Why is everyone being so coy about this? The rooster farms are all about fighting and gambling. Period. And they're noisy as hell.

Many of the folks I know that raise chickens for eggs and meat don't even even keep roosters around. They're not needed for egg production, unless you want fertile eggs to hatch, and who needs that hassle when you can just order the chicks you need from Stromberg's or the like?

Welcome to punaweb. Apparently some like to see animals suffer and break the laws in hawaii. Go figure!

The Bing mpas of HPP are more current than google maps or earthview, if you zoom in the maximum. Google has a picture form when our house was empty and we've been here almost 4 years. Bing shows my husband's car and the trees we got rid of are missing, so it is only about 6 months old.

Use Google Earth and check the historical imagery (the clock icon); often the one that's displayed by default, which is the same as on Google Maps, isn't actually the most recent. If there are multiple shots, it would also show if they've moved around in the last few years.

[B)] I have noticed that termites do concern you as well on many of your posts, why can't I also be concerned about them? Anyone looking to buy a home in Puna or anywhere should be. Rain, the same thing. I would prefer not to live where it gets 250+ inches a year, thus HPP where it's half that, and I can make informed decisions about these things which would concern anyone. Why does that merit that sarcastic remark? I usually find your comments to be the most enlightened and common sense on here, Rob, but not this one.
Rooster "farmers" are a real concern to many for the reasons I have already outlined in other threads.(Noise, stench, property value losses, etc.) I am discussing things that concern me, but there are many things I love about moving there or I wouldn't. Island time being one of the main things, as I have been living on it my whole life. The fast paced lifestyle here on the mainland stresses me.
Don't you feel rooster "farmers" are a real concern? Would you welcome one next door to you?

comin' your way soon!

Spudnut, We all ave to decide what concerns us and dodge what bullets we can. Puna and the Big Island have a lot to offer. As I said, I'm confident you can find a spot that suits you. My concern was with some statements appearing to take a vigilante approach to a person raising roosters - which is legal in AG zoning.

I can recall in California watching people buy homes next to AG fields, appreciating the view, and then complaining about tractor noise or spraying of the fields. The culture of cock fighting, which I am not a fan of, runs deep and wide in the Pacific islands and Asia. We are in a east meets west place. It is what it is. Westerners prefer slot machines and felt covered tables. Islanders prefer cock fights. Both of which are illegal here.

Just to make it clear, my study is not me "taking a vigilante approach". It is simply to determine the affects of rooster ranches in the area.

Let's all take a ride on the paranoid conspiracy express.... just for a moment.

Rooster farms and helicopter overflights (and, of course, lack of infrastructure) are a major drag on property values -- almost as if "someone" wants to keep all the land "cheap" until they're ready to make their move.

They're perfectly willing to "allow" people their illegal cesspools and unpermitted shacks, because "someone" has to homestead the land for future development.

Does anyone really think the "status quo" can last forever?

Roosters OMG!
we live on an island in mid of Pacific with many pacific islanders and asians, ...this aint no Dayton Ohio
get used to it, it will not change!
HPP is all 1 acre or less lots with only a few hundred feet between the 30 or so roads.... small lots like these you will hear the roosters for a few minutes for a few blocks (not as bad as coquis)... unlike the larger longer more spreadout lots up on the hill on other side of hwy ie Orchidland, HA, Fern Acres, etc. where its sometimes tough to hear a single rooster (ie end of rd2 in HA where I am)
