I am looking to start keeping track of the offspring of many of my chickens and was wondering what the best type of leg band would be to use on them. I have not used them before. As far as I know there are five different types out there: Imprinted metal bands, regular metal bands, plastic bandettes, numbered zipties, and spiral bands.

Does anyone have any opinions or experiences with any of these to tell me which would be best for me? The least disturbance to the chicken it causes, the better. I also need to put a number on it.
Thanks for your help!
