Also not a fan of toe punches or wing bands.
Nail polish?
Paint pen?
I'm trying to keep track of different lines and hatch dates until they're big enough for a permanent leg band
 
I might actually still have some of those! Thanks!
 
I mostly use them to determine sex of my chickens when they’re young and see if I’m correct once they get older.

I find some of the bigger ones can be put on 8-10 week old chicks and won’t cause problems to the chicken until after they’re 18 weeks. By then I can usually determine gender and remove them.
