How Coloured Chicks Are Made?

The process involves either injecting dye into eggs while they're incubating or spraying the hatchlings. Poultry experts say colouring the birds is not harmful, as long as the dye is non-toxic. The colour disappears after a few weeks as chicks shed their fluff and grow feathers.

How do you make colored chicks?

Squirt a little of the food coloring into a cup or bowl and dip your fingers or an old toothbrush into the dye. Then, gently brush it onto the chicken's feathers, always working in the same direction that the feathers grow. If you're planning on dyeing the whole chicken, start on the underside and work your way up.

Are colored chicks illegal?
