And speaking of Colored Chicks Multi-coloured chicks for Easter The dye comes off as the chicks grow new feathers A farm in the northern US state of Alaska has given Easter egg decoration a whole new meaning. Triple D Farm and Hatchery, in Palmer, injects the eggs with dye to produce multi-coloured baby chicks. Children visiting the farm in the run-up to Easter were met with more than 400 orange, red, green, purple, pink and blue chickens and ducks. Farm owners insist the non-toxic dye is harmless and temporary, disappearing as the animals grow their new feathers. "It's something we've done at Easter time for the last few years," Phyllis Burney, fiancee of owner Anthony Schmidt, told BBC News Online. "It's mainly for the children. They are quite in awe when they come to the farm and see the multi-coloured chicks. 'Blue mother' "One little boy came with his kindergarten last week and when he was asked how the chick became blue, said it was because it had a blue mother," said Ms Burney. The dye, which the farm insists does not contain chemicals, is injected into ordinary chicken eggs a few weeks before Easter. The baby chicks are not hurt, but provide a psychedelic spectacle when they hatch. "The dye doesn't last much more than a couple of weeks, once the chicks' new feathers come through," said Ms Burney. The farm, near the capital, Anchorage, annually colours around 200 baby chickens and 200 baby ducks. ##### Me? I never go to Wal-Mart. Never, never, never. Bad juju.  |  IP: Logged Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-10-2004 08:44 PM                     Leo Thanks for that article. I lost track of the goings on there in Inglewood and wondered what did happen with Wal-Mart. Sort of hits the nail on the head with why alot of us don't like Wal-Mart or Sam's Club. I was surprised as to how many Seattlites really dislike those stores. Have never shopped in either of them and don't plan to in my lifetime.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 04-11-2004 12:22 AM                    The dye, which the farm insists does not contain chemicals Um...  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

For the fact that there just so happens to be a McDonald's in this Walmart that came with a really HOT Ronald! The initial plan for taking this picture was to have it look like I was making out with Ronald but that lady that sat next to him would be completely jealous if I did. (So imagine me sitting on Ronald's lap )  |  IP: Logged James R.

I assume they use real Wal*Mart customers and employees. Perhaps I've answered my own question.  |  IP: Logged James R.
