On the day that someone first brought chickens to Kauai or anywhere else for that matter, some would have gotten free and there were feral chickens. Same for cats. There has never been any need for a storm or other discrete event to explain free roaming animals. Literally within hours of any animal being brought anywhere, some would have escaped. The only question is how well they survive on their own.
