chicks

Birds are an interesting species, there are about 400 billion birds on the planet. That's right, if they wanted, they could attack us, win, and take over the world. And who knows, maybe that is their plan. If you dive into that thought a bit deeper, with 5 billion people on the planet, this would amount to 40 to 60 birds per bird. So, yeah, they would definitely win. And one type of bird, the Jacana bird, may just freak out a majority of those people with its terrifying spider/bird hybrid legs, but the truth is way cuter than anyone would expect. 

When an Imgur user discovered the truth behind these seemingly freaky birds, they decided to share their knowledge with the world, and we are grateful.

This entertaining and thought-provoking commentary by Imgur user yourfriendlyneighbourhoodtzimisce:

Anyone who has ever walked a dog knows that dogs are absolute magnets of attention. People stop, people wanna pet, sometimes you'll even start up a conversation with another dog owner and well, since your dogs are friends now, you kinda have to be friends too. Maybe you'll even find your future lady companion through one of these dog-initiated meetings.  

Basically, dogs are the best chick magnets, but this time, we mean it literally. Dogs are total BFFs with chicks. Tiny yellow chicks. And it's so adorable it hurts. So, yes, even literally, dogs are better chick magnets than all of us. 

It should be illegal to be this adorable.

We happened to scroll upon one of the cutest tweets we've ever seen. Twitter user, @plumbpop, shared her handmade bonnets for her baby chicks! 

We had an immediate "awww" reaction and needed to see more baby chicks wearing tiny bonnets and hats! And while we were searching for that, looking to satisfy our craving, we came across Julie Persons of Etsy. Julie Persons specializes in tiny bonnets and hat made for baby chicks! Talk about hitting the jackpot!

Yes, we've already featured Pet chickens in tutus, but what about their little chicks? 

What should they wear until they grow up? 

Well, people on Instagram have found a solution – tutus made from cupcake liners!

We are totally obsessed. 

Aww! Look how cute all these baby chicks are! Except, err, what's going on with that baby pigeon? Is that real?

Here are 15 side-by-side comparisons of birds in their baby state and what they look like as adults. 

Who knew birds could have glow-ups too?

The three new arrivals were hatched in August, with the third and final hatchling making its way out of their shell on Thursday, Aug. 29. "It's a labor of love for the Zoo's bird care team, who have confirmed that all of this season's chicks have officially hatched," the OKC Zoo wrote on Facebook, sharing adorable photos of the little baby birds.

Move aside, Peacocks! There's a new stylish and colorful bird in town -- chickens in tutus! From little chicks in cupcake liners to full-grown chickens in rainbow tutus, we can't stop gushing over how adorable these chicks look! 

The Sacramento Zoo recently announced the birth of six (adorable) American flamingo chicks, also known as Caribbean flamingos. The babies hatched between June 28 and July 30, yes it took two days, and they're the first of the species to be born at the zoo since 1999. So ya, its kind of a huge deal at the moment. 

The Silly Chickens brand was hatched by photographer Alexandra Daley-Clark, a chicken-lover, from her home in Lyman, Maine.
