What size legbands?

[WestKnollAmy]

Okay, so Cutler says size 12 and the other chart shown on here says size 20.

Considering my bantam Cochin take a size 9 in the spirals then I would expect the peas to be 18-20.

However, peas can have thinner legs than I would expect.

Still hoping for more people will chime in as to what they use. Thank you to all the ones that have answered so far!

The ebay link is not for what I am wanting. I will have way more peafowl than what those will accommodate me. They only come in a few colors so I need the ones that are numbered.
With colors and numbers I have a greater ability to trace all the bloodlines and birds I will be breeding.

The chart that shows sizes 4-16 is in inches, the other is in metric.

This link shows info on numbered bands. I think the picture the you posted is for a size 9 which is 9/16".

This link shows the same band as your picture. Size 9 = 9/16", size 12 = 3/4".

That's the kind that I have.

So peafowl should have 11/16” leg bands?

Here's Green-Pea (six month old hen) in a 10 and a 12. I know they aren't the numbered type, but it should give you a basic idea of how they might fit.

Size 10 - Too small.



Size 12 - A little too big.

I have my boys in HOT PINK leg bands. I don't know what size. I'll have to take a pic and post.

The leg bands that I use on my birds look like this.

I'll probably use those on my adults once I know for sure what size fits best.
