Hi! I was wondering what you use and recommend using for chicken identification. I want to use some kind of plastic leg identification for sure.
So would you recommend using leg bands like these: http://www.eggcartons.com/Poultry-Leg-Bands-s/1886.htm
or bandettes like these: http://www.randallburkey.com/11-Bandettes-Box-of-25/productinfo/23030//#.U5-KnfldWt0
or even zip ties like these: https://www.strombergschickens.com/prod_detail_list/Numbered-Zip-Tie-Poultry-Bands
Also, when it comes to the zip ties, do you really need to buy special ones for chickens, or can you just use the ones from your local hardware store? I don't see the difference, but I want input.
Finally, do you have a specific place you like to order any of these identification methods from?
Thank You for your help in advance!
Audra
