LEG BANDETTES? Where to purchase?

[erijn5]

I get the Randell Burkley catelog, and I was pricing leg Bands for my flock so I can keep track of who is who. Does anyone know where else I can get these, NUMBERED BANDS not priced out of this world. Tried Ebay no numbered ones unless I couldn't find them. Help please!!

Thanks!

Does no one use these or am I the only one thinking about doing this?

I get snap bands from foy's they come in sizes for chick to geese, if I want numbers i use a sharpie, colors for me seem to work better, with snap bands if they get to small they will snap open

Check with Cutler Supply(cutlersupply.com). I ordered leg bands from them, and I find they have reasonable prices on most everything, compared to some others out there.

I use Kuhl colored plastic spiral leg bands. I have read of some one using nail polish on the bird’s toenails. Here is where I get my leg bands.

I would go to Dunlap Hatchery. Their bands are surprisingly cheap.

I found lots of clip on bands on eBay and Amazon, but the numbered bandettes are hard to find. Strombergs has them but they're expensive. I just need some way of separating my chickens from the neighbor's so I will probably go with a loud colored clip on.
