Did you know?
Chicks are young domestic chickens, typically hatched from eggs during springtime brooding cycles. They're iconic symbols of renewal, innocence, and Easter traditions across many cultures, often appearing in nursery décor and children's illustrations. Newly hatched chicks are covered in soft down feathers and depend entirely on warmth and food from their mother hen or an incubator during their first weeks of life. Their bright yellow downy plumage fades as adult feathers emerge, transforming them into the birds we know in farmyards and coops.
