Symbol of rebirth, fertility, wealth, goodness.
Easter chicks come in a variety of forms, including candy peeps and live chicks in a basket. Because chicks are born from an egg, they are a symbol of fertility and rebirth. Chickens were uncommon in Ancient Greece, and they were not sacrificed. They were instead provided at festivals and other events. Chickens were employed to forecast good fortune in Rome. It was a positive sign if the chicken ate her food greedily.
