I knew that the ones that you stick through the wing existed.
But i wondered why stick it through if it's way easier to just put them around the base of the wings.
Now i know that they will hurt themselves that way and that the only way is to stick it through if i want wing bands. But i'm fine...
Everybody thanks for your reactions.
I mark them with leg bands, we need to to join shows.
I was just wondering why nobody used wingbands and now i know!
Thank you very much!
I have a question about marking the wings. Would it be possible to use zip ties to mark the wings?
I know that zip ties are used on the legs to mark chicks. I was wondering if it is possible to do the same with the wings?
I've read about marking chicks, but i didn't find anything about bands...
I do train my bantam silkie too.
I started with a clicker but i'm not fast enough so now i train her without.
Training a chicken is like training a dog. They learn fast and they can do a lot of tricks.
For treats you can use everything as long as they like it very much. I use dried and live...
I found out that the chicken is smarter than me. She knows how the clicker works, but i'm not fast enough with the click. So now i have some ting very yummie in my hand and she follows, it works quite nice, but i have to teach myself to click faster.
Thanks for following. I like that you also have been training with your hen. I think that most chickens are smarter then there owners know, they just know how to keep that from us so they can live a lazy life ;p

I'm starting again with silkies after not having had chickens for over half a year.
The first of the ladies just arrived yesterday (Jan-2-2014). And I'm looking for a friend for her.
On this page i'll keep writing about my progress and training methods. May by someone else will learn something...
