Chicken googles
Chicken eyeglasses, also known as chickens specs, chicken goggles, etc. are small eyeglasses made for chickens and is intended to prevent feather pecking and cannibalism.
Chicken goggles are used to prevent breeding chickens from fighting and pecking each other.
It is important to note that when chickens put these red glasses on, their ability to drink or eat is not jeopardized.
This product is colored in red because this particular color will prevent a chicken wearing them from recognizing blood on other chickens. In chickens (and other poultry), the presence of blood on a flockmate may increase the tendency for abnormal injurious behavior like cannibalism and pecking.
It is important to note that despite preventing chickens from recognizing neighbors’ blood, the red tainted chicken googles do not prevent the chickens from seeing their feed or water.
Chicken goggles are a successful alternative to beak trimming, which is the removal of approximately one-third of the beak by a debeaker.
Although debeaking is often effective in reducing pecking injuries, it causes pain and has deleterious effects on chicken welfare.
This product is suitable for use in free-range poultry, hens, chicken, turkey, peacock, etc.
