I have been blessed to be able to vacationing on the beautiful island if Kaua'i , The Garden Isle, lush, beautiful and full of chickens....everywhere you look. The streets, parking lots, parks, alongside the road, you name it, there they are! They roam freely and don't seem to bother the people and the people don't bother them. Where, I wondered, did they all come from? So I began an effort to find out....
Well, it didn't take long. I asked a local who gave me the scoop. In the early 90's Hurricane Iniki hit the islands, and hit them hard. So hard that it ripped apart just about every chicken coop on the island--and the chickens roamed free. The best part is that many of the chickens were bred and raised for the horrendous and illegal sport of cockfighting. God doesn't miss a thing. Through the force of nature, He freed the beautiful birds that He had created for His pleasure, and not for criminal greed. These chickens now live in Paradise, free as a ......bird...I can't help but chuckle to myself as I see the gorgeous multi-colored roosters proudly strutting their stuff down the street. Thank you, God, for being the God of everything, even the chickens!
