Wait, what?! An island with more cluckers than humans? 🏝️😲
Yep. Welcome to the wild, feathery world of Thuraakunu, a tiny tropical gem in the Maldives where chickens rule the roost — literally.

We didn’t believe it either, so we went all in — with sunblock in one hand and a notepad in the other. 📋☀️

The Great Chicken Census 🐔🧮

Armed with flip-flops and fried rice (don’t worry — no chicken in it), we strolled through this laid-back paradise to do what no one dared before:
Count. Every. Single. Chicken. 😤

Locals were helpful, tourists were confused, and the chickens?
They didn’t care. They strutted around like they owned the place. 😂

Final Count: Chickens – 937 🐓 | People – 427 👤

That’s right.
For every person on the island, there’s at least 1.2 chickens watching you eat your lunch. 🍽️👀

Some even have names:

• Boss Lady 🐔 (runs the main dirt road)

• Colonel 🍗 (ironically hangs out near the BBQ shack)

• Jetty Janice 🚤 (greeted us at the port)

Why So Many Chickens? 🤔

Turns out, chickens are like coconut trees here: essential and everywhere. 🌴
They provide eggs, snacks, alarm clocks, and… let’s be honest — comedy.

Locals say they’ve even seen chickens surf during monsoon season. 🏄‍♂️🐓
(Unverified, but we choose to believe it.)

A Feathery Utopia? 💭

Forget noisy cars.
Here, you wake up to cock-a-doodle-doos, not honking horns. 🚫🚗
Dinner is fresh, eggs are plenty, and every corner has a mini chicken parliament clucking away.

Some visitors even reported emotional bonding with the birds.
One tourist cried when saying goodbye to a hen named Cluckoncé. 😭🎤

So… Would You Visit the Island of Chickens? 🐣👣

Imagine sipping coconut water on the beach while a hen naps next to you like a golden retriever.
Sounds peaceful, right? Until she steals your fries. 🍟💨
