Did you know Key West has wild chickens roaming the island?🐣
These feathery locals aren’t just for show—they’re descendants of domestic chickens and fighting roosters brought over by early settlers and Cuban immigrants. Over time, they were released or escaped and now live freely all over the island. Locals have mixed feelings about them, but visitors love the quirky charm they add to Key West life!
Whether they’re crossing the road for snacks or just strutting their stuff, these chickens are part of what makes Key West so unique.
Happy Easter from the island where the eggs might just come with feathers and attitude! 🐥
