cock-a-doodle

 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.
