Rainbow Chicken

Q: For the sake of the muslim ummah and particularly for myself i humbly ask for guidance as to what the ruling is regarding the rainbow chickens etc issue? Haraam or Halaal? It is very confusing and disturbing to find ulama cannot state 1 true ruling. My heart pains to see the ummat so upside down and in turmoil.

Starting my own firm & previous employers clients want to join me

Q: I have worked for a company in the accounting/audit field for over ten years. I wanted to leave a few years ago and start an accounting practice on my own, but I was constantly being held back. I was told by my employer that it is understood that certain clients who I have built up a relation with will want to leave that company and bring their work to me. He said that he will help me set up my practice and whatever assistance I require he will be there for me.

Now that I have finally decided to go on my own my employer tells me that I am not allowed to take any clients away from the company. When I mentioned to some of the clients that I was handling that I am leaving work and starting my own practice, they said they want to move their work to me. I told them that my employer said that I must tell them that I cannot take the clients over. The clients tell me that it is not the company's decision but theirs as they are the clients and they can decide who they want to give the work to. Some of them even said that if I wasn't at the company they would have taken their work away and some have also said that when I leave they will take their work away to another company in any way (if I'm not allowed to take on their work) so they can't understand why the company wants to dictate to them.

I wanted to leave on good terms as I enjoyed working for the company and I enjoyed a very good relationship with my employer. I would like to know if any of the clients approach me to do their work is it OK or is it wrong of me to do their work?
