Recommended leg band for adult ducks?

[chickens really]

Not sure why you're sorry, I was just explaining why someone might need or want to band even with a small flock

I band and keep track mostly for breeding purposes. So when they get penned or separated for breeding, I know who was with who and what they produced. Even with a small flock, with lots going on in life its easy to forget!

Yep! Plus stuff like my Buffs who I honestly can't 100% tell apart. Both have gone broody, but one has quit 2/3 of the way through TWICE now! I definitely don't want to let her go broody again unless another duck is broody too and will let her "share" their nest. But I don't want to mistakenly break the "good" Buff if she goes broody because I think she's the other one.

I just want to say thanks so much for everybody's advice! You guys always help me figure out what to do with my darling duckies. Of course y'all are some seriously bad enablers who are responsible for my duck addiction in the first place, so there's that. ;-)

Is there any need to know when putting zip ties on ducks, I have 3 and they are going to a buddy’s temporarily so I want to be able to get my spoiled ducks back. Of course not putting them to tight, but do they tighten after or is there a placement I need to be sure of.

I put zip ties on my hens so I can keep up with who I have wormed since some of mine look identical. I just make sure the tie slides up and down the leg and it doesn’t go over the back toe so it doesn’t get stuck.
