Bandettes and zip ties. They come in a lot of colors. The zip ties need to be changed as the chick grows and then move to Bandettes once they get big enough.

I use the little colored rubber bands for newly hatched and then switch to colored zip ties when they are older. The zip ties are easy to snip off and put on a new one plus they come in a variety of colors & sizes.

No. They take rain fine as long as they have a place to dry out at night.

They are much tougher than we give them credit for.

Rain went from the Sanoma coast and the bottom barely touched Woodland. It has moved on from here now.
