No, it's not a realistic sex doll! Dreamchick is the latest must-have gadget in the Japanese robotic pet movement. It's a cute, little, lifelike robotic baby chick made by Segatoys that won't grow into an ugly chicken and crap all over your house.
Dreamchick has sensors so it “knows†when it is being held or pet and responds with wing flapping or chirping. In short, this is an irresistible improvement on the real thing. You'll never have to give it away to a farm or bury it in the backyard under the cover of moonlight.
