You are correct, but as Alex Trabeck would say more specific information is needed. :D

Is it a pair of chicken blinders that hooks on their beak to keep them from pecking ?

This is as close as I could get to a pic.... Its the box they come in...






It said it takes a special tool that you can get from your dealer to put them on the chicken..He didn't find the tool...evidently it springs it apart a little and snaps back on the bill... Tim

Never heard of such a thing Tim!

My parents had White Leghorn laying hens and if one got a little sick, the rest would literally peck it to death!

Sometimes they would eat eggs too.

My dad would usually clip part of the top beak and that would stop the pecking!

I have a neighbor that sells pheasant hunts on his land and raises the birds, they use little (I think) leather blinders on all the roosters.  Can't say it's too sporty but they sure helped out the pheasant population around them with their buisness.  :)

  The tv show "Storage Wars" just hade an episode that featured these "chicken glasses". Supposedly, they were made in the 40's and are not many now left. Appraiser said they were worth a few hundred dollars a pair (not being an appraiser, I doubt it).

Can buy them nowdays, so don't understand why they are considered rare. Maybe style of the OP makes a difference.  ::)

That was a trick ! If you would of put a penny or dime next to it it would of rattled my brain, we used alot of them when I was a kid  ;D When I first looked at the picture it looked like something big made from cast iron, guess the jokes on me  :D. All the one we ever used was just a plain unpainted steel.

I told in the first post that they were about the size of a half dollar...no trick here...Tim

I saw on tv last night a guy on Storage Wars found 3 sets of sun glasses for chickens . He was told they were worth $500 .
He who dies with the most toys wins .

Banjo picker

I would think the guy from Storage Wars would have been quick to sell them.  The box I took the pic. of was full... probably 100 in it...I am sure that my work associate would like to get up with the person doing the buying.  Banjo

I had a friend in High School who lived on a turkey farm.
I helped them one week end  put something similar on the turkeys but were rose colored and transparent to prevent the pecking.

I am thinking that rose colored glasses is one thing that a turkey would need ... seeing that they are the prefered food for many occasions...Banjo

Old Iron nut

Tom A. has it right. It goes on chickens' beak to stop them from pecking. Those little prongs on the inside fit in the breathe holes on the bird's beak. Put many of those on in my teenage years working on a chicken farm.
