Chicken rings?

[AnimalGeek23]

Hey y’all!
This might not be posted at the right forum but have any of you used chicken leg rings (or whatever they’re called) to identify your chickens?
I’m getting 3 of the same breed (buff orps) at the same age and it might be hard to tell them apart.
What other thing could I use to identify them?

Btw sorry if the title was misleading!!

Leg bands, you can just use zip ties around the legs to identify them

For the fair they have you put a band on your chickens leg so I used a zip tie one. It works like a zip tie and they have numbers on them. You could also get them color coated. I like those the best because they are easy to take off a growing bird. To take it off all you have to do is cut it off.

Thanks for the replies!
I can put them on chicks, too, right?
Are they reusable?

Chicks too, yes. Reusable? Not after you cut them to get a bigger one

I was supposed to get them in April... but it delayed to September! I’ve done a lot of waiting, I’m a master at it.
