Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road???

In Key West the answer to that question is "whyever, whenever, and however they want".  :)

When the Cuban people first came to Key West, they participated in cock fighting.  Soon that was made illegal.  The Cubans were not happy.  They released all their chickens and just let them go.  After a generation of chickens, they were categorized as wild chickens and placed on the protected list.  So now there are chickens running loose all over the island and they are protected.

These two crossed the street one evening as we were leaving dinner.  There had been a hen with some young ones that I wanted to get a picture of, but they were too quick for me!

Stay safe!
