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.
