Advice please, having trouble integrating new pullets

The peepers have prongs that fit into the nostrils. They do not hurt the bird (altho it takes time to get used to them) They can eat, drink, and roost. Try holding your hand in front of and close to your eyes. You can still see around it. This is how they work and why they can't peck.
It takes 2 people to put the peepers on, one to hold the bird still and one to carefully place the peepers. You first put them in very hot water and the plastic becomes somewhat flexible. I got a small package of them cheap on Ebay and practiced flexing them before attempting to install on the hen..

Thanks so much for the advice, I just ordered some peepers, and will give it a try.

Look on youtube for demos about putting them on the chicken, practice flexing one before you use it so you can do it quickly.
