Chicken Blinders

[kathrynmary]

Today we removed the blinders from Henrietta. She did well and it was only a plastic blinder so it came out easily without any bleeding. I hope she is happier now and starts to lay eggs.
Thanks to every one for your advice and welcoming notes.
Here are some pictures of Henrietta 6/30/14 before and after "surgery".

Keep an eye on her behavior. Chances are the Pinless Peepers were applied at her previous home because she was a feather plucker/eater. Frequently this behavior can be modified through the use of 'blinders'. Hopefully she has learned to behave.

Thanks. I think she will be OK because just about every chicken in the pen where I got her had these on, so I think she did not have any bad habits per se.
