Record keeping

[crazzzymike13]

I'm about to get into incubating. I want to know if anyone can give me an example of how to keep records on my hatches and the chickens themselves. Like wing and leg banding. Thank you!

Not a bad breeders log.. copy and pasted from http://www.bantychicken.com/cgi-bin/OEGBCA/index.cgi (old english game bantam club of a america) for marking you can use the toe punch method if you wish which can be done at birth and is permanent, as leg bands can fall off, get damaged etc. (its not often that this happens, but i have had it happen) hope it helps
