Chicken Robots

Japanese toy maker Sega is selling cyborg chicks that look and feel like the real thing. The palm-sized robots, named Yume Hiyoko, or 'dream chicks,' join a line of mechanical pets that includes dogs, cats and ponies.

The chick has touch sensors that trigger it to chirp or flap its wings when its back is stroked. The robot chicks were modeled after newly hatched birds and cost about $19.

Their eyes don't blink - The just stare in cyborg space with their creepy black eyes....

They don "peep".....Speaking of "Peeps" - I'd rather eat something sugary that looks like a little chicken, than spend $19 bills for blinkless, peepless cyborg poultry.

Now, if they smelled like fried chicken, I may revise my comments....

I think that for $19 dollars, they dont need to blink.
