Banding Barred Rock-Size Question

[chicks4kids]

I have been looking online and found several suggestions as to the size of band for Barred Rock hens. I want to go with the numbered plastic bands, anybody have Barred Rocks and use plastic?? Do you know the size? Thanks.

This link has a band-size table in it. I personally have not used bands. Best I can do.

I've got barred rocks and use the #11 cellulose bands..11/16" I think. No problems with mine.
