Ummm....They make toe nail polish for cats and dogs...maybe you could paint their toe nails different colors with pet safe colors! LOL! Stylin'!!!

Might not be a good idea with chickens who like to peck at shiny or odd things! At least if they peck at the bands, they don't get hurt since it is plastic getting pecked. But nail polish could lead to toes getting pecked.

I was just about to ask, "Why would you need to leg-band them?", but here is your answer. Thanks for the info. I have only 4 right now, and I think one is a Roo. But I'll keep this in mind as my flock grows.

I've watched my cats do the same thing when they have something sticky stuck on their paws. Very funny !

They sure do !!! I have to make sure to wear closed-toe shoes (my trusty Crocs are my chicken shoes) or else they will peck at MY painted toenails. OUCH !!
