Good grief! That is quite strange. In my defense I was not thinking that. I was thinking one tiny dab on one toe just to help identify who was whom - and of course not red or pink to discourage pecking.
It did remind me though that they sell nail caps for cats - I think people use them to stop their cats shredding the furniture. Never tried it but some people like them. I wonder if they would fit chickens.
My cats don't even tolerate a collar so I doubt they would go for this and of course shredding the furniture is their main hobby.
