I need to band my Black copper Marans--to tell who is show quality and pet quality as I have both, they are 3 wks pet q and 2 days show. I saw metal and plastic they come in sizes, I have no clue as to what size to order--can you help?
Quote:most catalogs well have size exapples i would but zip tie on ur pet quality ones that way u know to cull them later
Quote:At that age bands are a very poor choice, Toe punch them, its a permanent mark and does not fall off. When they are older and of size to choose from then band the ones you intend to keep. this will save a great deal of trouble, constantly changing and checking bands on young birds is a real hassle, and they fall off quite regulary.
