Until recently the island of Bermuda had about 30,000 feral chickens inhabiting its 21 square miles. The government of Bermuda began an eradication program because the chickens had become a nuisance to the island's 65,000 human residents. Despite the best efforts of the ironically named Department of Conservation Service a few hardy chicken survivors can still be found hiding in the dense plant life or, in the case of one rooster, living in a cemetery where the dead humans outnumber the living. We took these pictures on a recent trip.
