(Baonghean.vn) - Thousands of chickens are raised together in one coop, but there is no fighting or biting, and each one has beautiful feathers, thanks to the farm owner "putting glasses" on them.
 |
| The strange story of chickens "wearing glasses" is at the farm of Mr. Nguyen Viet Tu, Quang Nhan hamlet, Quang Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district (Nghe An province). Thousands of broiler chickens, including roosters and hens, are on display.However, 100% of the chickens are "wearing glasses," which looks very strange. At first glance, you might think they are a new breed of chicken with an unusual comb, but in reality, they are just red plastic glasses that the farm owner puts on them. |
 |
| Nguyen Viet Tu's broiler farm has 4 systems of chicken coops, raising 7,500 chickens, all of which wear "glasses". |
 |
Thousands of healthy, shiny chickens thrive thanks to good care, being kept together in the same coop and wearing "glasses," so there is no fighting that causes bleeding or feather loss. |
|
 |
| The glasses, when worn, resemble a chicken's comb, intended to block the chicken's direct vision but without affecting its ability to eat.Mr. Nguyen Viet Tu said: "Previously, my chickens often had bald patches on their backs, necks, and heads due to fighting, which slowed their growth, but I didn't know how to treat it. Two years ago, I happened to see someone on TV putting 'glasses' on chickens to prevent them from fighting, so I went to learn how. After being introduced to a place that sells chicken glasses, I ordered nearly 10,000 pairs to apply to my chicken farm." |
 |
| The hens also wore "glasses," which looked quite unusual.Each pair of glasses costs 700 dong and can be used for many years.Each year, Mr. Tư exports 40 tons of chicken meat, priced at around 75,000 - 80,000 VND/kg, resulting in a farm revenue of approximately 3 billion VND. |
 |
| Some of the chickens were very active, causing the glasses to become misaligned, so Uncle Tư had to adjust them.To put glasses on a chicken, a steel ring is threaded through its nose, with a plastic frame above it that tightly grips its beak. The glasses hang above the beak, in front of its eyes, preventing the chicken from seeing directly and attacking other chickens.The purpose of putting glasses on chickens is to block their direct line of sight, so they never fight or chase each other, resulting in beautiful plumage, reduced hyperactivity, and faster growth. When the chickens reach about 400 grams, they are fitted with "glasses". |
