Rooster Traps™ started after more than 5 years of living on the beautiful island of Kauai in Hawaii. Of course no matter where you go, there will always be something that can obstruct an otherwise perfect place. In Hawaii, for many it’s the Roosters, and in California, it’s the crows. If you have ever been to Hawaii, you know that Roosters are everywhere. They will be anywhere you want to relax and have a nice clean lunch at the beach or laying in a hammick. They fill parking lots and sometimes walk the isles of local grocery stores and public bathrooms. The worst part about the wild roosters and chickens is that they have no major predetors on island to control their numbers. So after many years of pulling my hair out and watching others do the same, I set out to buy a good trap. I scoured the phone book, talked with friends and then ended up on the Internet only to find some bulky over weight trap that would have cost me $300+ to get it to Hawaii! I was so determined to clear my property of roosters I began to research making my own. After choosing my materials and design, I went to work. The next morning I set my trap and caught 6 or 7 roosters/chickens within a few hours. Active in the community, I knew there was a need throughout Hawaii for what I had not been able to buy anywhere. As a result, this website was developed, ads were placed and away it went. Response to our product has been well recieved among residents and businesses alike. Costco Wholesale was among our first group of customers to respond and purchase.

Grand Cayman island in the Caribbean also seems to have a rooster/chicken problem. We came here 3 months ago and are routinely woken up at 3 or 4 am by crowing roosters. Our neighborhood has only about 25 homes and there must be at least 25 chickens in the neighborhood. I was searching for info and came across your site. Would it be safe to eat a wild rooster or chicken?
I’ve heard of people cooking the wild chickens up but the report was that they were really tough. I wouldn’t do it because you never know what these critters are running around with. I believe that the health department in Hawaii encourages people to report sightings of dead chickens because they are capable of carrying diseases.
What do you suggest as the best bait to put in a feral chicken trap?
I regularly receive frozen whole roosters for their prized feathers. Do what you need then freeze the bird whole, lei makers on Maui will take those birds off your hands and dispose of. They must be frozen, we dont want their pests and diseases, then place ad on craigslist, you’ll get a ton of calls
