Hawker said that the price of chicken is generally 1 yuan / 1.5 yuan /2, only the body's color is dyed with dyes, dyes absolutely no problem, harmless to the human body. Hawker also told reporters that business is good. 100 chicks will be sold out that day, mostly when children buy home for pets. Several parents said they had bought it for their children before, but such chicks were hard to feed, and could only be domesticated for four or five days.
