Legband size?

[Ersula]

I have 13 Buff Orpingtons and I want to get some leg bands because they all look the same lol My roosters legs are a lot larger than the hens, so I was wondering what size YOU normally get for similar sized chickens. I want to get the plastic/rubber kind. Thanks!

This is the size chart that I use. I don't have birds your size, but I can tell you that for my full grown Silkies I use size 9 and they are plenty big.
A bird the size of yours would easily use a size 12 I would think.

2 1/8" Canaries, day old Quail
3 5/32" Parakeet, 1-4 week old Quail, Doves, Cockatiels, Guinea keets

5 5/16" Pheasant hen, Tumblers, medium Pigeon, Homers, Wood Duck
6 3/8" Pheasant cocks, month old Chickens, large Pigeons, Chukar Partridge
7 7/16" Ringneck Pheasants, Mallards, Wild Ducks, Bantams, Feather Leg and Runt Pigeons

Awesome! Thank you SO much. I've never seen a list with Orpingtons on it. You're my favorite person right now because I was totally going to order 9's or 10's. Thanks!!
