I've been trying to figure out how to save single posts, but I haven't been able to do so.

I'm just going to start here then I'll sort them out and separate into categories later.

I appreciate the many members that have provided these great links in posts throughout the various threads. Sometimes I just want to go back and read them later.

Tomorrow morning, I'm planning on getting up early and giving all my adult chickens numbered bands. I ordered them last week and they came in today, and I can hardly wait to put them on and get the chickens' numbers in my Flock Inventory list. Yes, I'm a spreadsheet geek. Orange for my 2016 birds, purple for my 2017 birds.

This weekend, I'll be working on putting another one of these setups together.
A 5'x 5' PVC run.

If one has a broody and eggs you want to hatch (New Hampshire/Dominique eggs this time), she must be given eggs. Cause, chicken math. And I have another mama with chicks who is using the setup I've pictured here.




I got them from Chicken Charm (https://www.chickencharm.co/product-page/25-zband-numbered-poultry-leg-bands). They come in 10 different colors and you can request numbers 001-300. They didn't have the numbers I wanted in purple, so they told me what they had available in purple or told me I could pick a different color with the numbers I wanted. They work out to about $0.26 a piece, which is cheaper than Strombergs and they have twice as many colors.

And yes I know about cutting the zip ties flush. I had a rooster mess up his foot because he pulled the tail. Fortunately I caught it before the foot was beyond salvaging.

"Why?" You may ask;
