What Does Toe Punching Look Like In Adult Bird?

[Lady42]

I just learned about toe punching and I'm very curious to know what the adult birds look like with their toes punched. Does anyone have photos? Can't seem to find any online. Thanks

Once a toe punched chick matures there is just a tiny or small hole remaining in the webbing between the toes. This hole is approximately the same size as the hole that was originally made in the foot webb.

Normally I toe punch my chicks when they hatch, but before too much time elapses I snap a numbered Jiffy wing band in the webbing on the front of the wing.

Don't forget to permanently record in your stud book the webbing toe marks as well as the wing band numbers along with your chicken's pedigree.
