Jenthelibrarian Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I believe that the dyed chicks are an easter novelty in [parts of] the USA, where they are sold as a 'fun' gift A friend of mine has often visited Sierra Leone in conjunction with our charity that sends books out for schools there. She was very surprised to see purple chicks running about a health clinic project she visited, and asked if they were a local breed. The staff had sprayed them all with gentian violet antiseptic in the hopes of putting off the local owls and hawks which keep snatching them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandychick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 This is quite a common sight on markets in India. The way they are treated and transported is really shocking. All perfectly acceptable in India though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Although they do look very cute, I was hoping it hadn't been caused by human intervention . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
