Some take the Easter tradition of dyeing eggs to a different level by dyeing and selling chicks.
The dye is either injected in the incubating egg or sprayed on the hatchling.
In California, it’s a misdemeanor to dye or color chicks, rabbits, or ducklings. But that doesn’t stop some. FOX40 viewers contacted the station about seeing colored chicks at stores in our area.
Some farms call the practice harmless, but others fear the practice turns live birds into decorations, which can be discarded after the holiday.
