It is illegal to sell dyed baby chicks unless sold in quantities of six or more.

The Law Explained

Around Easter, it used to be a popular novelty to dye live baby chicks and ducklings pastel colors for children. Kentucky outlawed the sale of these dyed birds in small quantities to prevent them from being bought as disposable holiday toys that would quickly die or be abandoned. If you really want a neon pink chick, you must commit to agricultural husbandry and buy a flock of at least half a dozen.
