You're so right! My six month old chicks are now outside and they all have zip ties or spiral bands and if any of them start to look iffy I'll be ably to identify them easily that way. Hmmm... I'm still going to use wingbands next season, but maybe I'll also use zip ties.I think wing bands and zip ties are the best bet. The wing bands tell the story but leg bands let you see on an instantaneous basis without having to catch the bird.
