Who's on first base?

[paulinaydern]

I have two poults. The smaller one is active; eating, drinking, obsessing on the walls of the galvanized tank, exploring, walking around the bin. The larger of the two eats and drinks, but seems to sleep more than the other. It's very noticable how different the two of them are as far as curiousity goes.

My question is, without having plastic leg rings handy, is there a way I can mark one so that I can tell them apart as they grow?

We can tell them apart easily now, but as they get older I'm curious to know which one was which, if and when they even out in size, etc.

I want to be able to tell them apart until I get to know them well enough for it to be obvious who's on first base.

Thanks,
P.

p.s. I warned you I'd be asking more newbie questions!

Well I don;t know if this is recommended but I use a dab of red fingernail polish on supposedly my male gosling foot. It has been there two days and still is there so it is working.
