Watchful Hen

This colorful mother hen was willing to let me creep close enough to study her three little chicks. If you visit the Hawaiian island of Kauai, you will find these beautiful fowl everywhere.

 

Most people suggest that the feral chicken population can be traced back to when Hurricane Iniki hit Kauai in 1992. It has been reported that the devastating hurricane destroyed a number of chicken farms.
