What is printed on ABA Legbands?

[Neco]

Hi all just curious what is actually on ABA leg bands? Link on ABA site
I may order some for next year when I get some chicks but wanted to know more first. I know they say ABA, the year, and a number. It also looks like they have letters on them too? Are they yellow or grey? Can you specify the color you would like?

I'd love to see pictures of your birds bands as an example.

I have to wait until the birds are fully grown before I use them though.

I normally use zip ties too, but haven't tried number ones.....do the numbers stay visible over the years?

I've just started using them this year, so I'm not sure how long the number will be visible. The number is also etched into the band, so the number will still be there, but it won't be as clear with the ink gone.
