When the wife and I walk into a store during chick days I hang my head and shake it back and forth then wife asks what's wrong, I just say, "can't you hear them?"

Chicks are cute. I have hatched chicks at least once a week, usually at least twice, every week of the year for 8 years, plus frequently before that, since 1995. I am running 2 full Sportsman cabinet incubators now and will be running 1 more and 2 Dickeys again, probably in April. Right now I am only hatching quail. I won't set chickens until around the beginning of March, depending on the weather. I'll set guineas one week after they start laying.

Nice looking birds I have hatched few uggos in my day fun to see what you get. Like you I get a different type of bird each year to keep track of their age.

That is strange.I remember back in the day when they would inject food coloring into fertile chicken eggs to get chicks those colors but those are adult chickens.

They dipped the chick in dye after they hatched out. They did not do it in the egg. The adult silkies in the video were dyed too.

Some people also dye white homing pigeons. They do it a lot for LGBT&Q events and call it rainbow releases when they let the homers go.

I remember hatching out the eggs as a child.You could buy them around Easter time.The chicks would come out all different colors.

You're right Bruce. I looked it up. They did use to inject dye straight into the eggs too. Apparently many places made it illegal. I have only seen them dye already hatched chicks.
