Steps:
- Slice through the top 1/3 of each egg, ensuring some of the yolk is included in the slice. Carefully remove the egg yolk from the bottom portion of the egg using a spoon and transfer to a bowl.
- Mix egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle, horseradish, pickle juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Fill a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped with the egg yolk mixture. Pipe egg yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites creating the 'chick', ensuring there is enough filling to add 'eyes' and a 'beak.'
- Slice small wedges out of the carrot rounds creating 12 'beaks'. Add a 'beak' to each 'chick'.
- Slice olive pieces into small squares to be used as 'eyes.' Add 2 'eyes' to each 'chick.' Place the egg tops onto each 'chick' to look like a chick peaking out of the egg.

- Note: It's easier to break up the yolk a bit to get it out without tearing the egg white 'shell'.
- Note: Feel free to use the ingredients in different amounts depending on taste or desired consistency. We often like more pickle and horseradish.
Tips:
- Use fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Older eggs are more likely to crack when you peel them, and the yolks may be less flavorful.
- Peel the eggs carefully. Use a spoon to gently loosen the shell, then roll the egg between your hands to loosen it further. Rinse the eggs under cold water to remove any remaining shell.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs in half. This will help you get a clean, even cut.
- Remove the yolks from the eggs and place them in a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop out the yolks, being careful not to break them.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until they are smooth. You can also use a food processor or blender to do this.
- Add your desired fillings to the yolks. Some popular fillings include mayonnaise, mustard, relish, chopped onion, and celery. You can also add herbs, spices, or other ingredients to taste.
- Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Use a small spoon to carefully fill each egg white with the yolk mixture.
- Decorate the eggs as desired. You can use food coloring, sprinkles, or other edible decorations to make your eggs look festive.
