Identification Bands ???

[galanie]

Another option is colored velcro bands. They sell those in home improvement and hardware stores for organizing cords. Come in 4 colors and danged if I can find mine! I'll be needing one or two and I'm going nuts trying to remember where I put them! I cut them so each band actually gives me two bands. So I got 8 for the price of 4.

what do you use to punch the holes with?

I have five little babies coming and currently have a roo and a hen. My rule is that we don't eat our pets, but their eggs and offspring are fair game. I'm going to use the fabric velcro things with their names on them in permanant marker so I can tell which ones are friends and which ones are food.

lol, a toe-punch. You can buy them at a show or thru a supply house. I think they cost around $2.
