I didn't start this to dye chicks and I won't dye chicks to sell or for myself. I understand that it may seem like a good idea at the time for parents to buy some cute little colored chicks for the kids but they'll be dead or on Craigslist when the novelty is gone. It probably should be against...

I don't know about it being illegal in the the whole USA...the OP said they saw them in their area each easter. I do know it not allowed in NY state. As is selling less than 6 chicks at the retail level. You can fewer than 6 birds from a local breeder but not from a retail store...
I started this just to see if some of us actually do this to make a few bucks, I never thought that you could inject dye in a egg still developing in the bator. Did you notice what day it would be to do the coloring?
I thought you were being funny, I'm sorry. I still can't believe you can inject dye into an egg that's in the bator, I would think it would effect the hatch rate. I would think it would be easier to put the dye in a spray bottle and paint'em up. Mardi Gras is coming, I might have some KOOL...
I was wondering if anyone hatches chicks to color them for Easter and how do you get them colored without getting it in their eyes/feet/beak? I see them every year so where do they come from?
