The Easter Bunny may be in danger of being replaced by the Easter Chicken this year, at least in Simpsonville.

“It’s just amazing how quickly we’re selling our baby chicks,” said Gary Metzger.

Metzger’s Country Store on U.S. 60 gets a shipment of baby chickens in each week in the spring, and he said they are sold as fast as they arrive.
