We were surprised to see that it was closed when we drove by. It looked to be permanently closed, not just a vacation sort of thing.

They had a couple of famous bumper stickers.........

 

I wonder if they'll still sell their stuff over the net? Site is still up.........

Oh no, I was looking forward to taking my boys there in June. They have chickens, and would have thought the store was cool.

Okay, what is the chicken store?:confused:

A woman's futile effort to protect the thousands of annoying wild chickens that roam Key West and wake you up at 0430 with their crowing. She sold tshirts.

They sold more than just t-shirts -- it was a fun place to walk around. They had chickens and roosters walking around in the store which had wood chips on the floor. They rehabilitated sick and wounded chickens. They even had a blind chicken in the back of the store. I know, it sounds very bizzare, but it was really cool. We have chickens at home and we just really enjoyed it. They also sold beautiful hand painted roofing tiles - very expensive but very nicely done, glasses, bumper stickers, aprons, etc. - anything chicken, they had it. They also accepted donations in order to off-set the costs of taking care of the chickens that had been abused by the people who found them annoying. Their website, I have heard, is still open.

lol as if they need "protecting." The chicken store is gone, but the chickens live on. Those "annoying" chickens have been there a lot longer than you have, by the way ;)
