Here’s the little foster on this rainy, cold day:
He’s still little, but his coat is much nicer than when I first picked him up.

Kitty foster. Just look at him?
(Er, wait, maybe not that. We don’t want to set him on fire!)
I don’t want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart. 
Enjoy the Ink Spots

one of the street chickens started nesting under a habanero plant in one of the raised beds. so long as she did not disturb the plants and i collected the eggs (one a day for 4 weeks), i was cool with it.
now she has gone broody and is setting a rock.
check the total concentration on her stupid little chicken face:
had some good breakfast burritos, but gottdammit, i hate these chickens!
good luck hatching that coral rock.

We were eating dinner and he started knocking at the back door, he wanted dinner to. The last photo is with the door open all the way, one day he’s going to come right inside and then we’ll be having big fun.

Do they at least eat garden pests?

I know she’s a pain to you, but I kind of feel sorry for her… she’s never gonna get a baby that way.

no. our biggest pests are the chickens,themselves. or snails and iguana eating leaves, flowers and fruit. the chickens mostly just dirt bath in our garden beds (and don’t eat snails or iggies)

Are they really just clucking around down there, all wild-like? So weird! It’s like the horses and cumberland Island, but more annoying…

yes! these are not escapees from someone’s backyard coop, no. island chickens are a breed unto themselves having run wild here forever and as such, are supposedly protected (though, folks would not say anything if the population “dwindled”).
truly, not kidding, straight up feral, wild-ass street chickens belonging to no one. getting any eggs out of them is a short-lived bonus. they hide their nests and are wary of nest boxes that one might set out.
nuisance? there are currently seven roosters and about five hens. the roosters never stop crowing.
all of them.
all the time.

Sounds like you’ve got the same issue that Hawaii does.

Or Cat Island ( Aoshima).
I’d be cool with a 10:1 cat to human ratio.

well, we have almost every other kind of lizard around here! a chicken-hatched coral basilisk wouldn’t phase me a bit.
besides, lizards we like!

Our feral makes us really nervous because if she falls in I’m obligated to fish her out. Of course she cant sit on the walkway while she’s fishing for mice, no, she has to sit as close to the water as she can. Right below her on the water side is a hanging dock so she can get out if she goes in.

João de Barro AKA Furnarius rufus.
I think these guys were a couple looking for mud or clay to build their nest.
