Passersby look at toy chickens made from real feathers on a street in Beijing Friday Dec. 10, 2004. The chickens, which made battery-powered squawking noises and were priced from 20 Yuan (US$2.40) to 40 Yuan (US$4.80), were selling well, two months before the beginning of the Year of the Chicken in the Chinese Lunar calendar.
