Oops, they are ILLEGAL in MD. I had to get rid of them. Oops!

Sorry I don't. I got out of poultry a few years ago. I think they are illegal in some states. And with the AI outbreak I'd be surprised if anyone will be able to sell Easter chicks.

I don't believe hatcheries carry colored chicks anymore. The original post is from 2009. My kids and I have a fun tradition of hatching and making our own Easter chicks. It involves injecting dye into the egg at 12 days incubation. You need to be familiar with good sterile techniques, and if you are, it doesn't affect the hatch rate.

Because too many people see the pretty colors, and don't make the connection that it's a living, breathing animal that will need care. These birds are eventually dumped. Animals are NOT toys. If you want something cute and fluffy, buy a stuffed chick.
