Silkie thread!

Hey y'all. I love my SQ silkies, but their vaults/crests are so huge that they have trouble seeing their surroundings, their food, and the ramp to the coop. I need to find a solution for pulling all those feathers back from their eyes that isn't going to damage them. I'm hoping some of you have solutions.

One idea I had was to use the tube from a baby sock like a bandana to pull over their head and pull back those feathers. Has anyone tried that? Does it work?
some people use painter's tape to pull up their polish chicken's feathers. I'd guess it would work for silkies. I'm just going to trim mine. But mine are not for showing, just pets.
 
I'll show one of my young cockerels. This is 'piper' don't ask he was 'supposed' to be a pullet.

Mine are blind too. I'm thinking of just trimming around their eyes.
