Oh shyte! I haven't seen any, and these guys are huge compared to where they were when they arrived!! First thing I need to do when I get home!!! I don't want them to hurt the kids!

The wing bands won’t hurt them. They’re used for identification.

They don't get too tight? like a legband would, as they grow?

Nope it’s just a once and done. I actually switched my flock over from zip ties to wing bands.

Ok, I'll have to check. I don't remember seeing anything on their wings... and in the advert pic that Ann sent me of the cockerel and the black n white (that was supposed to be salmon) HE has a legband... but she doesn't. And they didn't arrive with them.

The pics Ann sent me of my Araucanas also had legbands, but they did arrive with wing bands. The wing bands are hard to find if you don’t know what you’re looking for. The wing bands should be by the crook of the wing under the feathers.

She has available ones now, I wonder if I should still wait for Willow Acres, or get some from Ann.

Not only that, but from experience...Lord knows what kind of runaround and BS excuses you will get from Willow Acres!

Really, excuses and run around? Great. My biggest issue would be coming up with payment now. I have a deposit with Willow Acres. I wonder if I can cancel and get it back? It's through PayPal.

How long have you had a deposit with her?
Was it her that had an incubator malfunction awhile back?
I do not think Rachel is a bad person...in fact she is very nice and helpful. I just think she has too much on her plate. She's a young mother trying to raise about 5 different types of rare breed chickens, and now she is into breeding and showing goats. I think if you ask her she will refund your money.
