Ah! Chickens can go to paradise!!

I wanted to link to the Editorial response to the May 8 article on crowing roosters but our webmasters seem to be slow in getting the response online. So I'm just going to give you my thoughts on what people should do if they have more than one chicken because, as you know, according to the article the city has decided to limit the number of roosters one can have.

What should they do to the extra roosters?

Send them off to Kauai! For those of you who don't know, Kauai is filled with wild roaming chickens and they are considered a protected species because they are wild. Due to Hurricane Iniki in the early 1990s (don't quote me on it), lots and lots of backyard chickens got loose. And as you know chickens breed like gangbusters. Go to a Kauai beach and you might see a mama chicken tending to her brood. And chances are you will hear roosters crowing in the beautiful lush landscapes of the island.

I'll never forget the first time I visited the island. Hubby and I got off of our cruise ship to go on a tour. We stopped at a shopping center parking lot and I just about rolled over laughing when some random roosters and chickens appeared in the parking lot. We asked the tour guide and he told us the whole story.

And then there's the story of us going to the Fern Grotto. As the tour guide started singing the Hawaiian wedding song to our group a rooster decided to chime in with us. Funniest thing ever.

So yeah...if you have to give up some roosters, take them there! They would absolutely love it. You know I'm kidding of course! I don't think Kauai would appreciate it as they have more chickens than they can handle!! LOL!!
