so, the job is done! it actually went rather well... unless of course all my chickens' wings fall off tomorrow. they weren't the happiest campers about it, but it didn't seem to hurt them other than the initial jab. they did look awfully funny trying to "clean off" the shiny things stuck to...
thanks bantams! i've got some help, so hopefully it will go smoothly. the box didn't have any pictures, but one of my books does. i'm just so afraid i'm gonna do something wrong and hurt one of them. just being nervous.
so i bought the jiffy bands and now am at a loss as to exactly what i'm doing. they are so much smaller than i imagined! does anyone have a good link to application instructions that isn't a video (i'm on ridiculously slow dial-up)? or just some helpful advice? thanks.
i'm trying to decide which type of wing bands to buy. there are two that seem a lot alike to me but their applicators are different and have a $15 cost difference.
i like the Zip bands because they are silver, which seems less noticeable, but the applicator cost $15 more than the Jiffy...
