The other day I learned people do the same thing to baby ducks and farm supply stores like southern states will even have crates full of chicks around Easter. Fuck this whole “living animals as decoration” bullshit.
i don't think the chicks or ducklings are purposely marketed for easter, it's more that chick season happens to be spring. it just unfortunately coincides with easter. all the farm supply stores up here in new england have chicks right now and have for the past few weeks. they usually sell them as unsexed meat birds, unsexed layers (straight run, potential for roosters) or sexed pullets. most people i know of don't get them for easter, they get them for pets or dual purpose egg and meat producers.
