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.
