I actually knew a girl that did this for our junior high school science fair. Injected the eggs herself! Dying Easter eggs just wouldn't be the same after that.

I had a colored chick when I was 11. His feathers grew in normally (white), and he ruled the house. He rode around on our Airedale's head. When the weather warmed up, my mother insisted that he live outside (he was getting bigger, too). He proceeded to eat all the petunias she had planted in the window boxes. Then he started crowing.

A friend who lived on a farm volunteered to take him, promising that he would live free and happy. Two weeks later, the guy showed up and complained that Chirstopher had been tough! I was devastated.

I admit, they are pretty, but won't the feathers fall out as the grow and return to their natural color?

I think it's very cruel. Even dying them after birth seems like an unhappy situation for the little chicks..

"The dye, which the farm insists does not contain chemicals [...]"

Whut? I find that hard to believe.

Humans aren't oviparous, Lasse.

Why do we need coloured chicks, exactly?

Can you do the same thing with humans?

I remember seeing plenty of coloured chickens and rabbits when I was little, at fairs and the like. They were made that way by putting food colouring in the water.
