Is it? :buggedout:
From my home state:
KRS 436.600: No person shall sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange, display, or possess living baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits which have been dyed or colored; nor dye or color any baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits; nor sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange or to give away baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits, under two (2) months of age in any quantity less than six (6)...
In other words it's perfectly legal to dye and sell 6 baby chicks at a time, but if you sell 5 at a time you face a stiff fine.
