I have never brought in anything but day old chicks. I would just give them a call at the number listed on the website. I have found the ag. department people to be very friendly and helpful. I know people bring full grown fighting cocks all the time. But I have no idea what the process is.

And how is it that I only just saw this message thread?? I have spent the last year of my life on this message board. lol
I live in Ocean View on the Big Island.
I have 16 hens (6 reds, 5 barred rocks and 5 easter eggers) that I ordered from a hatchery on the mainland. After spending a year...
