Head out to Waiparous, drive north on the forestry trunk road. By noon you'll see lots of chickens 'gravelling" on the road-side. Walking bush trails is also productive. Take your time walking and stop now and then, you'll see them walking slowly or cheeping. They tend to hold fast as you move on by. Look at the bases of trees and in the branches. Don't know what this year's like yet but last year was many birds and some bigger brutes too.
