Hello everyone,
I would like to start banding my birds to identify them for where they came from or breed them from and age so I can keep a log. Is there some purpose to leg bands other than to identify? What do you use? I am thinking of the metal numbered ones. I am worried the chickens will peck themselves or others. Should I start with banding as chicks? If I only do a few of the birds will the other birds leave it alone or should I separate?
Any comments are appreciated?
thanks cray
