Key West sports a hefty population of feral chickens and cats. It's a perfect circle of mayhem. Chickens and cats. Cats and chickens. And greasy, oily tourists like myself all around. A carnival.

This cock was hanging with his hens near the sculpture garden by Mallorey Square. These guys always crack me up. Get to close to the hens, and they'll start puffing up, making a racket.

Don't worry pal, not interested. In the hens, at least. He was fun to shoot. With my camera.
