Hey @Sussex19, I noticed you've got leg bands on some of your chickens. I got a 8mm sized one for my chicks. Vent-sexed them on day 3 (as best as I could! ) and put bands on the boys but they all slipped out so am wondering whether you've tried 6mm ones? The 8mm ones eventually stayed on when I put them on at 7 days old but had to take them out at 2 weeks of age as they were getting a bit tight. Man they grow fast!
I'm also wondering what size would you suggest I use past 2 weeks old? 16mm? 20mm? Will they slip out again? Hoping I'll just need to get one more size up till they're around 3-4 months old (big enough to distinguish the boys from the girls). Thanks!!
