Bill > HCR99

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Honolulu City Council to examine its current rules, or ordinance, regarding the keeping of chickens. The resolution highlights that the existing ordinance, which allows households to own up to two chickens or peafowl, may be contributing to the increasing number of wild, or feral, chickens in Honolulu. These feral chickens are causing problems for residents, including noise disturbances, damage to property, and public health concerns due to their droppings and potential to spread parasites. Therefore, the resolution calls on the City Council to investigate how their ordinance might be contributing to this issue and to take steps to reduce the population of feral chickens.
