Just wondering is any has/had Gypsy Chickens.
For those wondering, a "Gypsy Chicken" is a wild chicken from Key West, Fl. They are considered an invasive species in the Keys, yet are protected from harm by the local laws. They had some big arguments called "The Chicken Wars" down there where some people (mainly people moving down from up north) complain and try to get them removed, and the others (mainly locals) fight back saying they belong there because they ran wild for over 175 years and are now a symbol for Key West. The government and some rescues do adopt out the birds (the only real way to get them) to thin out the numbers with no real predators. Had a laugh when they had a rescue bring some near me a few years ago with a campaign called "Adopt a Cock".
