Baby chickens are injected with ink while still embryos. They turn out like this.

I saw this when I was in the Dominican Republic, I was little so I thought they were ADORABLE.
Unless this causes them no harm whatsoever, not sure how to feel about it now. :I

I think it sort of follows along the same lines as neon injected fish.

If there are no harmful side-effects, i don't really have a problem with it. The chickens aren't living in the wild nature so predators isn't a problem.

Are those the ones that turns back to normal after a few months (IF, they survive that long)? If so, I didn't know that's how people colored the chicks. I thought they were spray painted or something... >_>

 So, uhm, what is the purpose of having rainbow chicks? :f6: It's okay for me, but.. why human kind? WHY?! EDIT: inb4 Future science can let parents choose their babies skin colors. Mini-hulks anyone? After all, aren't they adorable?

Because look at how freakin' adorable they are.
 Also from what I understand, there are no harmful side-effects of this, and once they lose their baby feathers they grow to look like normal chickens. NO HARM NO FOWL OH GOD I AM HILARIOUS.

I don't think it's permanent, because they typically shed their chick fur/hair/babyfeathers and grow the garden variety white stuff.
Sure, it's totally unnecessary and purely for our cosmetic pleasure, but it's a far cry from what is actually 'animal cruelty'.

Green chicken: Let's cross the road, guys!
Yellow chicken: I don't know about this... it seems dangerous. Pink chicken: Quit being so yellow! Blue chicken: You're such a chicken! Group: Bawk bawk ba-kaw! Yellow Chicken: Q-quit it guys! I'm not yellow! I'll do it! I'll cross the road! And that's why the chicken crossed the road. Peer pressure.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.

I remember one of the chicks I had being ~10 inches tall at some point but still retaining some of its (blue)color. So I assumed the color stayed a month at the very least. Uff, my sense of time sucks.
