Any experience (good or bad) with chicken glasses?

One of my barred rock's has had her comb bloodied for the second time this week.

Do you have any experience using chicken glasses? aka pinless peepers...aka poultry blinders??? I was thinking of ordering a pack of multicolored, that way I can tell one RIR from another. By the way, is there some kind of leg band or something that other folks use? I don't have a large flock at all, but there are three that look the exact same.

There are 8 birds free to roam our 3000+sq.ft. backyard from sun up till sun down. They are probably not overcrowded or so bored. Because I know that's what usually causes it. Also, three are only 10 weeks. The others are 22 weeks. The younger ones are having their food restricted and getting chased and pecked too.

Try different colored zip-ties around their legs.

I used Pinless Peepers on a bully who had bloodied 3 other chickens. The pecking stopped. She could still eat, drink, forage, and roost. After a few months I removed them, and she was reformed. A year later she is still a model citizen. But others have reported that chickens returned to being vicious when peepers were removed. It helps to have 2 people to put them on, one to hold the chicken, the other to snap it into the nostrils
There are poultry leg bands for differentiating individuals. I've seen them at the feed stores. Some people use zip ties, but there's a danger in making them too tight.
Good luck!
