Morning View – Big Cocks

There are hens and roosters running loose everywhere in Key West. We’ve been told they are all from from a single colony that was set free when cockfighting was made illegal. The roosters begin crowing at sun-up and continue to do so roughly every 7.5 minutes for the rest of the day, sort of like a poultry snooze alarm. The tourists find it charming, the locals – not so much.
