Our town is actually know for all the wild chickens.  There are a lot of theories and stories about where they came from, but the truth is no one really knows.  I was in a drive thru today, and these guys seem to be posing for me. I thought I would share it with you.

Amusing, Kauai is also like this but they know the reason why, a storm. What shocks me is that people don't catch them for food.

I've read of a Caribbean Island where the wild chickens have a level of protection because the inhabitants have recognized how important a role they play in insect management.

Humans try to make animals dependent on us, but sometimes they're not as dependent as we think?
