Chicks in Glasses End Posturing at Hatchery
Ellis Wise of Emporia operates a hatchery with 5 000 hens and faces cannibalism in laying. He fits chick specs across beaks to block forward vision, preventing pecking and bloodshed within the flock. The device clamps into nostrils with a hog ring and resembles spectacles without lenses. Wise notes hens may bleed during egg laying and other birds attack after seeing the blood. He recently began using the specs on his birds.
