Peel the hard boiled eggs. Slice off a very thin layer from the bottom of the eggs to give them a flat surface to stand up on a platter. Then, cut off a generous top third of the eggs.
Squeeze around the base of the eggs to gently loosen the yolks so that they pop right out into a medium bowl. Keep each lid paired with their own bases.
Mash yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder and salt. Mash until smooth. Transfer to a ziploc or pastry bag; pipe generously into the egg bases. Place the tops back over the bases; press down slightly to adhere.
To make the 24 eyes, poke through olives with a plastic straw several times; gently squeeze down on the straw and little circles should pop right out.
To make the 24 beaks (2 for each chick), thinly slice rings of the carrot; cut each ring into sixths, making 24 triangles.
To assemble, insert 2 olive circles for the eyes and 2 carrot triangles for the beaks for each egg. Place the Easter chicks on a platter.
Serve, garnishing the platter with fresh parsley or dill to give them an outdoor feel.
