Spiral leg bands work the best. They are the easiest to get on and off. You just untwirl the sprial slip it over the leg and its on. I use them on my Toulouse geese to mark the males and females, they take a size 16.

Maybe I should rethink the spirals. Are they metal or plastic?

The colored velcro strips that I use are in the sewing notions dept. at Wal-marts...Depending on their width, I cut them length wise and cut them down to fit...

I still say toe punching is by far the easiest...

I bought the leg rubber band off ebay and by the time you stretch them they break.

Yeah, well, that's what I'm afraid of. Unfortunately, that thought did not cross my mind until after I clicked the button. And darn it, I could NOT get the button to unpush!

I remember trying some teeny rubber bands for my shih-tzu to keep the hair out of her eyes. That didn't work too well. Either the dratted things broke about the time I got the hair rounded up, or Sandy shook her head twice and poof! there went the hairdo and the rubber band.

You know, some days I think I really should have been a blonde!

So, does anybody have any idea what I can do with the rubber band things if they don't work out for poultry??

Happy hatching!

Spiral bands are hard plastic. The best. Toe punching is cruel. I would never do that.
