Hello i have two problems.
First is with my roosters, I have two of them, father and son, similar size, but younger is a little more aggressive. Well towards humans he is usally ok but for second rooster, nope. So I bought blinders/peepers for them but i have problem. They are not pinless, and I am afraid i will hurt rooster if i will try to place pin in his nose in wrong position or something - never done something like that before. And I can't re-home him because it will mean that he will be killed.
I ask before maybe some of you know how to place blinders with pin ?

Second problem.
A day or two ago I noticed that my older (5years old) hen has probably vent gleet. We doesn't have chicken veterinarians (i tried contact veterinarians that take care of pigeons but they don't know anyone who may take care of a chicken) so I am not 100% sure if this is it but symptoms looks like that yeast disease. One day Hei Hei (my sussex hen) was perfectly fine, laying eggs, and second day i noticed poop on her butt feathers, goo coming out of her vent, and she doesn't eat much since then, she is weak. I know she is not young but i want to try to save her. Should I remove this poop by bathing her? Can i put garlic or some herbs in her water?

I don't know anything about the peepers, but why not just separate out one of the roosters if there's an issue, you will find that stress and tension will be reduced and all of them will be happier. It won't kill him and he can have his own space.

Re-homing doesn't always mean that the person that takes them is going to kill them. Some people look for a rooster to put with a flock of hens. Sometimes it does mean that and the person is looking to feed themselves and their family.

Please post some photos of the hen and her poop.
Feel her abdomen for bloat, fluid or swelling. Make sure her crop is emptying overnight and look her over for lice/mites. At 5 yrs old she may be having some reproductive issues that are finally catching up to her. Work on getting her hydrated. Direct dose her with vitamins. If she's not used to the taste of garlic or herbs in her water, then I would leave those out. Hydration is most important, so often plain water is best.
 
Hei Hei is better today. I don't know what changed but she eat better, I added vitamins to their water (they are used to it I give it to their water from time to time), Her crop was empty after night, Nothing on her abdomen. I remember now that my other 5 years old sussex had that issue too, she is alive but never came back to the previous health. I can't see mites or worms or anything in their poop or nose, beak etc so maybe something is wrong with their reproductive sstem. One year ago I lost a en because of that (first she was eggbound and few month later she died)
