I need a photo of the pliers that are used in applying pinless peepers

for how long did you leave them on?

It is suggested that you leave them on for at least one month to change the behavior. For things like plucking feathers, I think it would change the bad behavior. Some folks leave them on all the time. My cranky girls wear them for a spell, I take them off to give them a break and when the bad behavior begins again, then back on they go.

Edit to add: I just love your little avitar of the chicken riding in the car! How darling.

I know this is a 2 yr. old thread, but, is that pic a rooster with pinless peepers on? Can you put them on roosters with large single combs? I have an excited rooster that I want to put them on but he has a large single comb and I'm afraid that his comb is too large and goes forward on his head too far.

I use the pliers - snap ring - and I swear by the pinless peepers now (we call the PP's here -terrible, I know. Use it in a sentence. If you don't giggle, then seek help)
I have a flock of about 30, half of which are roosters. All free range. I was considering euthanasia after a few bloodbaths. Since I have a weak stomach for that sort of thing,, I bought some PP's (hehehe) on eBay and there was happiness all around. I only put them on for about a week on the offending roosters and after some rather amusing fight attempts (they look like two drunk guys trying to karate kick a moving target), they get exhausted and give up...then they agree fighting is stupid and they should all just get along. Probably plotting against me. Oh well
