Default OT, but I love it

The BBC has an online article about the farm in Alaska which injects dye into
chicken eggs so that when the eggs hatch, the chicks come out in various
colours, such as green, pink, blue and the like. The article is at

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/3615191.stm


The bit I find hilarious is towards the end it says, "The dye, which the farm
insists does not contain chemicals, is injected into ordinary chicken eggs a
few weeks before Easter."

Err, just what do the farm people think a dye is made of? *Everything* is made
of chemicals ;-)

Cheers, helen s

LOL! Reminds me of the brand of chick peas that I used to buy. The
manufacturers solemnly declared on the packet that they had been "grown
biologically". Excuse me? Growth is always a biological process, however
much e.g. insecticide you spray on the plant. ;o)

That's just gross. They should get the Chickens that lay Easter eggs! My MIL
has them, and she saved back the most brightly colored ones for us for Easter.

But this is hardly new. They did it all the time when I was a kid (Back in
the fifties) And I can attest that the colored chicks grow up just fine.
After having to find homes for two after their feathers came in, my folks
quite letting me get them. I mean we did live in an apartment and one was a
little rooster.
