This blog is dedicated to the chicken.
Did you know that there are an estimate 450,000 chickens on Kauai.? That is 6 chickens per person.
They are everywhere. You can’t get away from them. They stand under your window and crow in the middle of the night. They greet you at the restaurants and stores sometimes escorting you inside. You can see them at the beaches running through the sand and sunning on the beach.
There is speculation that the chicken was brought from Polynesia. The Europeans also brought domesticated chickens. Two hurricanes, in 1982 and 1992,blew domesticated cages open. Today is a mixture of the wild and domesticated chicken. They have no natural predators.
So why don’t people eat them or their eggs? The meat is notoriously tough and the eggs are not tasty.
Joyce and Debbie both had Easter chicks when they were little. (A whole other blog) Joyce got pecked by her chick and is leery of chickens while Debbie learned to cackle like a chicken. Debbie says that she can commune with the chickens. Joyce wants to know if Debbie is communing with the chickens why do they stand under Debbie’s window at 3 AM and crow.
Yikes, that’s a lot of chickens! But inquiring minds do want to know … why did the chicken cross the road?
Traditional: To get to the other side
Better: Because there was a KFC on his side
What do you call a chicken crossing the road? Poultry in motion!
