I have two Barred Rocks, Millie and Maggie, and I call them the M&M girls. When I am up close to them, I can tell them apart because their combs are different shapes. They also have different personality quirks, but not too different - the M&M girls are at the top of the pecking order together. But it was tough to tell them apart when they were growing and changing. That is one reason I like having a flock with a mix of breeds.

I have read some people put different color little zip ties on a leg (ends trimmed off) to tell them apart. It's the same idea as leg rings, but they are easier to find in the store.

x2 With that many of the same kind rings would be a good idea.
