Fowl that were brought to Maui by the original Polynesian settlers were set loose as the result of hurricanes, and a lack of predators have caused the wild chicken population on Maui to explode.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-so-many-free-range-chickens-in-maui\"><\/span>Why are there so many free range chickens in Maui?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In short, numerous wild chickens roam around Maui and other Hawaiian islands because of natural catastrophes such as storms and hurricanes that free domestic chickens.

Some also say that the escaped domesticated birds joined up with jungle fowl originally brought in by Polynesians 1,000 years ago.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-maui-have-a-chicken-problem\"><\/span>Does Maui have a chicken problem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>WAILUKU, MAUI (HawaiiNewsNow) &#8211; The administration of Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa has asked the Maui Humane Society to begin responding to a feral chicken problem that was responsible for a power outage at Kahului Airport last month. People on Maui said the island&#39;s feral chicken population is increasing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-chickens-everywhere-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why are there chickens everywhere in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Well as local lore goes, the hurricanes of 1982 (Iwa) and 1992 (Iniki) destroyed domestic coops, releasing the chickens into the jungles. These domesticated birds then mated with the wild red junglefowl (brought to the islands by the Polynesian) resulting in the feral chickens we see today.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-hawaiian-island-has-the-most-chickens\"><\/span>Which Hawaiian island has the most chickens?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Island of Kauai<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-so-many-homeless-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why are there so many homeless in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the high cost of living, a cause of homelessness is low wages. More than 60 percent of the jobs in the state pay less than $20 per hour and two-thirds pay less than $15 per hour. That&#39;s less than half of what households need to earn in Hawaii for survival.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-are-there-no-snakes-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why are there no snakes in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Snakes are illegal in Hawaii. They have no natural predators here and pose a serious threat to Hawaii&#39;s environment because they compete with native animal populations for food and habitat. Many species also prey on birds and their eggs, increasing the threat to endangered native birds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-hawaiian-island-is-forbidden-to-the-public\"><\/span>Which Hawaiian island is forbidden to the public?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Niihau<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-hawaiian-island-does-bill-gates-own\"><\/span>Which Hawaiian island Does Bill Gates Own?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bill Gates got married on this private Hawaiian island CNBC&#39;s \u201cSecret Lives of the Super Rich\u201d takes a tour of Lanai, a private island that&#39;s almost completely owned by a billionaire.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"which-hawaiian-island-is-for-natives-only\"><\/span>Which Hawaiian island is for natives only?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Niihau<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-any-pure-hawaiians-left\"><\/span>Are there any pure Hawaiians left?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cNative Hawaiian\u201d is a racial classification used by the United States.
