Pinless Peeper as Possible Management Tool for Aggressive Roosters

Do the pinless peepers interfere with foraging?

No, they don’t. I’ve used them on free range hens for extended periods. Stopped aggression twd flock members completely.
I'm very interested in if it would stop aggressive roosters.

Re the genetics theory, my 2 very docile polite roosters were son and grandson of a human-aggressive rooster. The aggressive one was raised by me in a brooder, the descendants raised by hens within the flock. I know this isn’t enough to disprove the aggressive gene theory, but it sure has me convinced there’s something there.
I will definitely keep in mind the peepers idea just in case I ever have a rooster issue again. I had to buy a pack of 6 on Ebay, so still have some left.

How do they on their face? I've never heard of them, very interesting.

I do not have any aggressive roosters myself for testing but can play with foragjng

They're plastic binders you put over a chicken's beak so they can't see straight ahead

What end do they serve?

I've got 2 human aggressive roosters that I'd be willing to try these on. Although one of them is an aggressive biter so I'll have to find help to even get them on him. How do the pinless peepers fit on a Silkie's walnut comb and/or a large straight floppy comb? I did notice the pic of them on a large straight comb

They don't work for Walnuts, so may have to use the peepers with the pins. I've tried pinless peepers on a Silkie once.

That's good to know. Thank you. They will fit on the floppy comb though? I'll try to get a picture of the jerk.

Supposed to stop them from bullying other birds

There are two plastic stubs, a stub goes in each nostril to hold it in place
