East Honolulu homeowners in Hawaii Kai and Aina Haina may keep no more than two hens under ROH 7-2.4, with roosters banned outright and enclosures required to meet zoning setback and sanitation rules.
ROH 7-2.4 governs noncommercial animal and poultry keeping throughout East Honolulu's residential neighborhoods, including Hawaii Kai, Kuliouou, Niu Valley, and Aina Haina. No household may keep more than two chickens, and roosters are prohibited entirely in noncommercial settings. Poultry under ROH 7-2.2 covers chickens, pigeons, turkeys, geese, ducks, and peafowl. Coops must satisfy zoning setback and sanitation standards. ROH 7-2.1 exempts properties where commercial kennels or livestock keeping is a permitted zoning use, which is rare in East Honolulu's predominantly R-5 and R-10 residential districts.
Violations trigger Animal Nuisance enforcement under ROH Chapter 7, Article 2, with abatement orders, fines, and potential impoundment of noncompliant animals.
