What is your favourite leg band for orpingtons? Which type and what size do you use? I am using toe punching and coloured zip ties currently. I am looking for more individualized identification for record keeping. Thank you

I'll tell you what I use but I don't have a large number of birds to keep up with. I use colored and numbered zip ties and the stretchy spring like plastic bands. I mostly color code mine but for showing needed the numbered bands.

Thanks. I hadn't seen numbered zip ties before. I have had good luck with zip ties staying on. So I ordered some #'ed ones in 3 colours last night to try out. I was having a hard time deciding on sizes for metal or plastic bands. The old roosters have big legs compared to the hens. But even the roosters seem to vary. So the one size fits all should be another bonus of the zip ties.
