Thank you also I don’t know how to tell them apart so I will try to get a photo of the same one but I can’t make any promises

To tell them apart you could color a small area of their feathers with something.

No, but from my experience they are a good place for scaly leg mites to hide.

Leg bands can work, but I would dye their feathers some.

If you have any food dye that would work, markers might work too.

Ok I will try to find some markers should they be animal friendly, washable or none toxic
