I know this is an older thread, but I must say it helped me as a new chicken owner when one of my pullet girls got spooked and hopped on another one's head and making a nasty looking head gash very similar to the one pictured in this thread.

Stromberg's has colored and numbered zip ties. Has anyone had trouble with the zip ties catching on bush branches, cage wire, etc.? I only have the three birds, but it would be nice to tell them apart. http://www.strombergschickens.com/prod_detail_list/Numbered-Zip-Tie-Poultry-Bands
