Where the Chicken Run Free

Everywhere you go on Kauai, you will see chicken. From the white sand beaches, to the highest mountains you'll hear the clucking and the crowing.

Filipino immigrants to Hawai'i liked to train their chickens to fight and when they came to Hawai'i, they brought their chickens with them.

The first battle for chicken freedom on Kauai blew in with the winds of the hurricane of 1982. It blew down all the chicken houses and released all the chickens into the wild. Afterwards the chicken houses were rebuilt and stocked with new chickens. Then, ten years after the first, another hurricane unleashed not only its fury on the island, but also unleashed all these new chickens.

Compound that with the fact there are no snakes, mongooses (mongeese?) or other predators except people on the island...and you have a burgeoning chicken population!
