Description: This is a very unique store unlike anything you've ever seen. Chickens are a big deal in Key West. As recently as 5 years ago, chickens were running around everywhere here. It was so cute and charming. It gave the inns a lot of character to be lying by the pool while a hen and her chicks were running around your pool chair.
Anyway, a couple of years back, the powers that be determined that chickens were a menace, so they began gathering and "disposing" of the chickens. Well, the city rose up to stop the slaughter of the chickens. It even got to the point that the chicken collection trucks were being vandalized and chickens were being freed when the workers weren't looking.
This store is a tribute 175-year-old city tradition of the chicken. The store has every chicken-related item imaginable, as well as live chickens caged and running free in the store. The chicken store is a must-see for any animal lover. Relax, enjoy, and pay tribute to the chicken!
