Introduction to Pinless Peepers
A Pinless Peeper is a plastic device temporarily applied to a chicken’s beak. It prevents aggressive behaviors like feather pecking, cannibalism or egg-eating. Unlike traditional peepers requiring a pin, the Pinless Peeper fits securely around the top of the beak. Tabs slide into the bird’s nostrils, ensuring a firm hold without injury or discomfort.
