A Home Invasion

If you’ve ever telephoned or Zoomed with me lately you’ve probably heard the chickens. 

Well, Key West is over run with chickens.


Legend has it that once cock fighting was banned they were released and the rest is history (there is early morning crowing and chicken poop everywhere as they run free).  

After a while one becomes inured to them (for better or worse).  

And then it happened!

I was taking a shower and over the sound of the water I heard a once in a lifetime shriek from Joanne.  It was so intense and desperate!

I took a towel and ran towards the tumult and found that Charcoal had driven a chicken into the bathtub (aftermath pictured).  

Now picture this (if you choose to), it fell to naked me to drive the chicken out of the house and once Joanne took Charcoal away I managed to do so.  

Talk about Home Invasions.  This is one for the books!

Careful there big boy. I think she was talking about the chicken and charcoal, not your naked body running through the house.

Chickens get a bad rap, they are really quite fierce and there are more of them in the world than any other bird. Befriend them.

Little Feat sang about a Dixie Chicken and a Fat Man in a Bath Tub.

My daughter has a horrible fear of birds. When we were in Kuai there were chickens all over. She had the most awful time. A chicken in the house would destroy her!!!

Great laughs, from your story & the posts (liked Shelley's the best)! Not for you, Joanne or Charcoal though; I see more closed doors & windows in your future.
