We band our chickens with colored zip ties for ID purposes & also to help keep track of how old they are. This year we have added a couple of feather legged BCMs and I'm wondering if banding them will irritate their legs because of the feathering?

Anyone have any experience & advice on this? I'm assuming if they can wear leg bands that maybe they should be a little looser so they dont rub on the feathers as bad...?
