Some colored chicks

Yep, you read that right.

I took this picture in Binondo during the Chinese New Year. I couldn’t get a better picture, though.

For the uninformed: this is quite a common sight in marketplaces and town plazas here in my country. Children buy them (or get their parents to), and these colorful little chicks presumably grow to become full-fledged chickens. Presumably.

I really don’t know what’s with our predilection for putting trappings on everything without any thought on artistry or simple compassion.
