Great idea Sour. I have used pinless peepers in the past with great success. If installed on the beak properly and the bird is given time to adapt, pinless peepers will stop picking, biting, and other aggressive acts.

I ordered some PinLess Peepers and they came in today. I do have a question about them. I have been letting my ladies free range about 1 hour a day while I am outside with them. To put them back in the pin, I just call them and they follow me into the pin. When they have on the peepers, will they still be able to see me enough to follow me to the pin?

Make sure the peepers are centered in the nostril, not too forward, not too far back. The peepers will allow them to see down, up and to the side. They will not be able to see directly in front of them, especially to peck or pick at something. However they will still be able to walk toward you and see to the side and such. It takes a couple of days for them to really get used to working with them on, eating, drinking, etc... If they wear them long enough, they can actually learn how to get around the sight issue and still peck and pick!! LOL But we are talking years. (I had a mean hen wear them for about 4 years. She got so it was as if she wasn't even in them.)

Good luck!
