Colored chicks??????

If it causes no harm to the chick and just changes it's color I see nothing wrong with it. Yes people will buy the novelty chicken for this reason but people do ALL SORTS OF STUPID STUFF in the world. I've never seen it done and yes I think it's dumb but I'm not one to Judge somebody for it. We groom dogs, pigs, cats etc. it's not far from dying their hair which I have seen done but just cutting an animals natural hair fits into the same category. Just because I'm not gonna do it doesn't mean that I will tell them it's wrong.

Have fun cause we're not here long people.

They will prob start producing pink chickens before long I would imagine.

I think people are missing the point here. The issue is not dying the chicks... its about selling them to people who are not going to take care of them.

They don't need to ban selling dyed chicks.....they need to ban selling them at fairs, on the street, etc.

Dyed chicks are great.. It causes no health problems. I personally love the bright colours and they look so cute and funny. I buy a few each year.. with natural coloured ones.. to raise for eggs or meat.

If normal coloured chicks were sold at fairs or on the street then kids will still think they are so cute and want them.

That is why animals should only be sold at livestock places / farm supplies.. where people who actually want a certain animal are going to buy them... so not an impulse buy.

Also I have so say to all the parents that buy the chicks for their kids.... YOU ARE THE ONES AT FAULT.. not the children.. not the people who sell the chicks.. and not the people who dye them.

Giving a pet to children.. YOU are responsible for that animal.. because the children are CHILDREN and you are ADULTS. If you are not willing take care a pet.. and teach you kids how to take care and respect animals.. then DO NOT BUY YOUR KIDS ANY ANIMAL!!!!!

We don't need LAWS and regulation to tell us what to do.. we all have a brain.. and we should take responsibility ourselves for our actions. If we are always being told what to do we are not very mature or intelligent and it is not going to help society.

And if we are raising children that like to torture and pull heads off living animals we are doing something terribly wrong!

I saw a vid on u-tube with brightly colored chicks???? This freaks me out a bit. how do they color the chicks (with food coloring?) and how do you folks feel about that?


I'm not sure if it's right?

Billions & billions of baby chicks & chickens are murdered by the commercial poultry industry each year by being thrown alive into meat grinders or being hung by the feet, dunked in electric water then having their throats slit; millions & millions more are murdered by backyard chicken growers using axes, overheated incubators & brooders, poor diets and the family dog.
So I'm not going to lose any sleep over a handful of dyed chicks that might be mistreated by children.

Axes seem humane

No legal in oklahoma , but I have still seen them for sale at swap meets...

I dont see what that has to do with colored chicks..more about bad buisness dealers ..as for the rooster thing thats a factor no matter what. I dont see anything wrong eith coloring chicks as long as they arent sold as toys
