How many chickens do you see in this picture? Since I was last in Kauai, 15 years ago, it has become overrun. Chickens at the beach. Hens running their broods across the roads. Chickens in the grocery parking lots and parks. They have tried to make a virtue of it a la Key West, selling chicken stuffed animals and chicken postcards, but the fact remains that there are too many of them for one island. And they don't only crow at dawn either. The whole day—and often night—is a chorus of crowing.
They have never heard of fried chicken?
ReplyDeleteDo they eat toads?
ReplyDeleteNo, but it seems like now the cane fields are gone, so are the cane toads. Probably all got smushed on the road.
ReplyDeleteAs for fried chicken, Glenn, a friend did kill two annyying roosters and pop them in a crock pot. But there are only about 60,000 people on this island and they would all have to eat nothing but chicken to make any dent in this population!
Same deal on St Croix. chickens EVERYWHERE...paintings of chickens DO sell...doesn't help the population crisis however. ....but helps me!
ReplyDeleteThey tell me this got out of hand after Hurricane Eva, when chickens got out of their pens.
