Reactions seem to range from “ZOMG that is SO cute!” to “ZOMG that is horrible!” The practice goes back at least 2004, which is when the BBC reported on an Alaskan farm hatching colored chicks — again, not talking about black hotties. The farmers in question inject non-toxic dye into eggs a few weeks before they hatch; presumably, the dye sloshes around with the other fluids inside the egg and eventually covers the chick all over. Whatever the process is, they come out all dyed up.

The thinking is that people and some animals first discovered booze after eating rotting fruit (which they hopefully did to avoid starvation). Then the people started rotting their own fruit to make wine and 5,000 years later we have cotton candy-flavored vodka and monkeys stealing rum runners. And that, people, is progress.
