What size leg band do I need?

[ChickGirl6]

I have EE's, Marans and Std Cochins. I'm going to get the plastic spiral leg bands from cutlersupply.com, and I need to know what size to get that will fit the adult birds.

There are charts for sizing bands to the various breeds.

i use various colored nylon zip ties to get a custom fit

I've seen the charts and I don't know if I need the #11 or #12.

we did the zip-ties today- seems great- recommend it. there were only 4 different colors, but different widths, too.

You can go to your local farmers supply store or order chicken leg band that are plastic and wrap around the leg. They expand to fit different size legs and will expand as they grow

They are called Bandettes and come in different colors and are numbered
