Anyone watch storage wars on A&E? This past week Barry bought a storage locker that contained rose colored glasses....for chickens!!!
It made me giggle seeing the hens wear glasses. Apparently when a hen gets cut and bleeds, the other chickens will continue pecking her to death, from the sight of the red blood. So someone invented these rose colored glasses to put on the chickens to mask the color of the blood and stop the hens from pecking eachother to death.
Here's some links.
