About 400 roosters have been fitted with blinkers at a farm in northeast China to stop them fighting and killing each other, according to a news website report.
The step has been taken at an orchard in Helong village in Liaoning province, 163.com reported.
Neighbours joked that the roosters appeared “cultivated” and intelligent as they look like they are wearing glasses.

The owner of the farm, Li Deyang, hopes the blinkers will curb aggression and cut the number of animals killed in fights by restricting the birds’ vision.

The blinkers were bought on an e-commerce website in various sizes so each rooster can have different pairs as they grow, the report said.
