@WVduckchick - Do you have the bands you will use for the squabs babies (I have an irrational dislike of the word squab ..) Can they use seamless bands with the feathers on their legs?

yes I do think they can use seamless bands. Although I don't know if she has them

I don’t have them. I still need to join and order them (maybe I’ll do that right now)
But I’ve already etched my clip-on ones for these 2, plus for the 2 older ones that were not banded (Duff and Skye, I think, they were young, and once that gentleman got sick, he stopped banding them.

I did it! But I only ordered 10. How stupid was that? Maybe wishful hoping that I won’t need more than that. I doubt they will make it here fast enough to band these 2 that just hatched.

Where do you all order bands from? I'd like to get a custom set but don't want to order 100.

I just joined the APA and ordered theirs. Foys sells some personalized ones, but they are rather expensive, if I remember correctly.

10 is pretty conservative. I'm not planning on breeding but ordered 10 jic.

I believe ebay has custom ones in small quanities, but they are from china. So I may order for next year now

I just found these! Even from China, $20 isn’t too bad for 50 rings. I wouldn’t need 50 (I hope! Lol) but might have to consider it.
Personalized leg bands

I just ordered some egg trays thru Amazon for my cabinet incubator and didn’t realize they were coming from China. Took a while, but I did get them!

I just ordered 20 bands for 99cents! They aren't personilized, but they are U.S. Lol.
