NO. That means they spoiled. What sort of chick peas did you use? If you tried this using canned chick peas, it's no wonder they spoiled--canned chick peas are COOKED and will not sprout. If you tried it using a packet of seeds from a garden store, they were treated with a chemical prior to packaging---and are not safe to use to sprout in a jar. Chick peas don't sprout easily. Since they're not a readily sprouting vegetable, you should probably try something else to sprout. And any time you try sprouting in a jar, you need to use seeds that are not treated or cooked.
This is my second attempt, this time using chick peas. The first time was a complete failure. Are they supposed to have some type of foam at the top? And be kind of stinky?
