Why are there so many chickens on Kauai?
I have hear stories about the hurricane, and also about the mongoose being imported. What is the TRUE story?
- The chickens are plotting a revolution, nobody wanted to listen but now they can see for themselves, hide, run and hide before it's too late!!!
- "The story about where they came from is that early Polynesians and Europeans brought chickens to Kauai. The Filipinos brought the brightly colored fighting cocks, and Walla, the wild chickens. It is said that with Hurricane ‘Iniki, the domestic chickens and fighting roosters were freed from their cages to roam and multiply. On a recent trip to Tahiti, the same wild chickens were everywhere as well, so I question this theory. But why so many?"
- I can't get into the whole truth in this little space. In brief, the aliens implanted tracking devices in natives about twenty thousand years ago and returned with a new species, which failed to survive on their own planet, and resembled a chicken. Every few hundred years, the aliens returned to check the progress of their experiments. With their advanced technology, they were able to successfully breed in captivity the first human-chicken cross breed. It was a tall yellow bird that was able to speak. Later, the natives made the tall yellow bird into a god, but found that it really only asked annoying questions, but no one could ever catch it. They believed that people could only see where it had been. In later generations they believed that this tall yellow bird was actually afraid of people and so the representations in their mythology also changed to a short, clucking, largely flightless bird, whose eggs were edible. The aliens returned to the island about two thousand years ago and were disappointed to see their creation so profaned, so they uttered a curse upon the island and called it "Ch-en" in their alien tongue. The islanders had enough of alien intrusion in their history and decided to re-name everything the aliens had tried to successfully create, including names. In their rebellion, the natives added the syllable "ick" to the middle of the alien "Ch-en" word, coining the accepted word which the English borrowed later, being "Chicken." So, that's basically how the bird and its name came to be on Kauai.
- El Pollo Loco hasn't opened up a restaurant there, yet.
