Ok thanks so much! I may order a few different styles in the sizes mentioned and see what fits best.

Cloverleaf, thanks so much! You are always on the ball and quick to answer. I had ordered some in my kids favorite colors for the fair and then began to wonder if they were acceptable since they are "removeable". We have to get blood testing set up which I am not looking forward to. (I don't plan on telling the birds as I don't want them to be anxious.)
HI there, just a thought that if free ranged together occasionally, that roo's can cross breed to other non pen girls. Others here on the list have a better idea how long one needs to keep separate for pure line eggs......I run most of mine together too until i choose to save eggs for chicks.I thought this would be a good place to ask some advice about this.
I should have 3 different bloodlines of Faverolles next season. I can usually tell my birds apart quite easily, but this will be more birds then I usually keep and I want to keep documentation on every bird. So I was thinking about going with leg bands. I have never used bands before and now my question is what size would I use on Fav's, would it even be recommended or would it damage leg feathers, do I use plastic or metal, is there a certain style that works better then others or is more comfortable for the birds or it there a better alternative?
They will be in separate runs, but I let the groups free range to clean the coop and let them forage for bugs in my garden and mix ups can happen, so I wanted to rather be safe then sorry.
Thank you for any input
