(Baonghean.vn) - Thousands of chickens are raised together in one coop, but they do not chase or bite each other. 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). Thousands of meat chickens including roosters and hens, but 100% of the chickens are wearing "glasses" that look very strange. At first glance, one would think this is a new breed of chicken with an unusual crest, but in fact it is a red plastic pair of glasses worn by the farm owner. |
 |
| Mr. Nguyen Viet Tu's broiler farm has 4 barn systems, raising 7,500 chickens, all of which are "glassed". |
 |
Thousands of healthy and shiny chickens are well cared for, kept in the same cage and "wearing glasses" so there is no fighting, bleeding, or feather loss... |
|
 |
| The glasses look like a chicken's comb, blocking the chicken's straight vision, but not affecting the chicken's eating and drinking.Mr. Nguyen Viet Tu said: Previously, his chickens often had bald feathers on their backs, necks, and heads because they fought each other, causing the chickens to grow slowly, but he did not know how to handle it. 2 years ago, he happened to see on TV someone "putting glasses" on chickens to prevent them from fighting each other, so he immediately went there to learn. After being introduced to a place that sells glasses for chickens, he went to order nearly 10,000 pieces to apply to his chicken farm. |
 |
| The hens also wear "glasses", which looks very strange.Each pair of glasses costs 700 VND/piece and can be used for many years.Every year, Mr. Tu exports 40 tons of chicken meat, at a price of about 75,000 - 80,000 VND/kg, giving the farm a revenue of about 3 billion VND. |
 |
| There are some chickens that are hyperactive, so their glasses are misaligned, so Mr. Tu has to adjust them.Put glasses on chickens by threading a steel button through the chicken's nose, with a plastic frame above the beak, the glasses are hung above the beak, in front of the eyes, making it impossible for the chicken to see straight and attack other chickens directly.The purpose of wearing glasses for chickens is to block the chicken's direct vision, so the chickens never fight or chase each other, so every chicken has beautiful feathers, reduces hyperactivity, and grows quickly. When the chickens reach about 400 grams, they will be "wearing glasses". |
