KEY2009 -- Key West Chickens

Feral chickens roam around Key West from back in the early days of the city. . . they are the pigeons of the island – no real fear of people, picking up food from here and there, doing their thing as the world goes by.

Don’t think they have fear of the local dogs either – saw many ‘lost dogs’ signs stuck to light poles and buildings. Coincidence? I think not. . .

What Key West really needs is a Chick-Fil-A. . .
