Visiting Mr. Le Van Hung's chicken farm in hamlet 6A, Tien Thanh mountainous commune, Yen Thanh district (Nghe An), everyone is interested to see each chicken's crest has a plastic glass attached to it.

Mr. Hung revealed that if they do not wear glasses, they will peck each other, affecting their feathers. A beautiful chicken must have thick, smooth feathers, so when the chicken is 1 month old, they must wear glasses. However, not everyone can wear glasses safely for chickens. The glasses are made of red plastic, with a small white strap used to thread through the chicken's nose. When putting glasses on a chicken, you must know how to thread them, otherwise, the chicken will bleed, leading to sinusitis and slow development.

When wearing glasses, the flock of thousands of chickens did not bite or peck at each other. In addition, wearing glasses did not affect their eating and drinking, so the chickens developed normally.

Mr. Hung added that the glasses look simple, but they have to be ordered from China, each one costs 500 VND. When the chickens are ready to be sold, that means those glasses cannot be recovered, so we have to invest in buying glasses for the next batch of chickens.

Mr. Le Van Hung's chicken farm is invested in quite a large scale, all of them are carefully equipped with glasses so the chickens grow very evenly and beautifully, bringing high farming efficiency./.
