LOL I can see them thinking rubber bands are pretty, colorful worms! :th
I ordered some zip ties last night... on ebay. Those things are expensive too. Geez. I found a good deal on a colorful pack. They're coming from Greece. The burbs are getting fancy Greek bracelets... yep. :lau
Yeah, I really like the sounds of the zip ties... you can customize to whatever size you need and not have to worry about spending $20 on bands that may be quickly outgrown. Not to mention, zip ties are much more readily available.. at least in my area. Any DIY store will have them, even...
And they grow so fast... I'll probably have to keep a really close eye on them... so they don't outgrow their bands. How often do you change them? Roughly?
I like the idea of zip ties actually. Easy to change or remove. I'd use the small ones.
One question: Do you put them on tight? Well, not tight, but snug fitting? Or more loose, so they move around?
Thanks everyone. I'm not sure which ones I'd rather try to be honest. But I know I have 5 Isa Browns that I'm not going to be able to tell apart... lol
Can you post a picture or link to the ones you are referring to? Please excuse my ignorance. I'm trying.
And @CTKen, what about the plastic spiral ones? They seem like they would hold up better than the rubbery ones... but I do not know.
I was considering getting some, as I am going to be adding to my chicks over the next few weeks.. and I'd like to be able to tell ages apart and also if I decide to try to tell certain ones within a breed apart....
What are the best ones to use?
