...me I dont care what you do to your birds...just pointing out why some people say bye bye to this topic....

What chicks are best to dye?
What kind of chicks are born white? (they would be easier to dye)

What I was getting at if the owners decided they didn't want the bird it's not as likely to be dumped like rabbits at easter. Look at the ads a few weeks after easter you'll see tons of rabbits,not so much chickens. Chickens are a great pet I have 4 of them but they also are a great food,the only differance between a pet and a food chicken is a name, you don't name your food.
