Kauai island in Hawaii is home to roughly five hundred thousand feral chickens — averaging six chickens per resident. These domestic chickens gone wild roam everywhere from Walmart parking lots to beaches to Starbucks patios, with roosters crowing as early as 3am daily. Locals can't even eat them because the chickens scavenge garbage bins, risking heavy metal contamination in both their meat and eggs. Hawaiian law protects them as a species — killing chickens in public areas is illegal unless they enter private property. With no natural predators and unlimited food, the chicken population has exploded completely unchecked across the island.
