chicks

So our neighbor kids come over almost every night to play with us and to get a decent meal in their bellies. Well they came over last night and brought some little friends along with them... baby chicks. Not just any chicks, dyed chicks. There was a purple, pink and yellow one (yes the yellow was dyed too). It was quite a sight. Apparently they used to dye chicks back in the day for Easter in the United States, but stopped because they realized it was bad for the chicks and hurting them. Oh but in Honduras, anything goes. These poor baby chicks were chirping non stop and shaking because they were so scared. Sergio kept saying they were cold and he thought that was why they were shaking. haha. It was awful. Come to find out, they started out with 4 chicks but the 2 year old, Estefany, apparently murdered one earlier in the day. Yes murdered. She squeezed it too tight and straight up killed it. Every time she would pick them up last night, she was holding them so tight or just holding them by their heads. It was painful to watch. Ada kept dropping hers all over the place. I would put money on it that they didn't make it through the night. Needless to say, we enjoyed playing with the poor little chicks and I'm sure we all probably caught some weird chicken disease now. Here are some pics of the chicks. Enjoy and please don't call PETA on us. thanks.
