thanks for all the input guys/gals, i really appreciate it, and the bandannas is such a cute idea!! and thanks for letting me see that coloring the chics was a really stupid idea to start with!
i know what i will do, i will make them little carriers out of pop cycle sticks and paint them a diff color and give them to my neices an nephew like that and then they can put them in their own brooder and raise them. still a colorful solution with a chic and i wont be harmong them! oh and...
im not sure which ones i am going to dye yet, and they will actually be two months old,i was thinking easter was sooner, i just know that i always see them at feeds stores and i thought i could do it at home, if it's not safe im not going to do it.
my neices and nephews are old enough to know not to do that to them and yes they have somewhere to keep, them, they have a pin, and when they get older they will come back to my house, and the chics that i was going to dye will be a month old, so will is still be a bad idea?
is there a safe way to dye chics at home? i was thinking foood coloring and water in a spray bottle but wasn't sure. i would love to give some to my neices and nephews for easter, they would love that. so if you its safe and you have any ideas could you please share?
