I see a few different options available for identification purposes. Please tell me your experiences in using the different methods, and what you like the best and the least about them.
Thanks
 
Cable ties (zip tags)
Pros ,many colours, inexpensive, can be used from day olds
Cons , need to be changes as birds grow

I get the numbered bandettes also...

I have benn ordering leg bands from the ABA. I like to put a permanent band on when they are big enough to keep it on their legs. Make for easy ID purposes, plus has the year on them too.

I find numbered wing tags works well for me. I put them on as they are taken from the hatcher & make a record of the number stating the parents of the chick, describing down, size & condition at hatch.
