MEWTOGO 8mm 100 Pcs Bird Pigeons Leg Rings - Colorful Readable Numbered Bird Identification Leg Bands, Durable Poultry Leg Bands Clip on Leg Rings for Bantam Finch Dove Lovebird Coturnix Quail

These make identifying pigeons/birds easy. I catch and release wild pigeons that eat my chicken feed. Since the pack has numbered bands with multiple colors, I can document repeat offenders and use that to determine which places are most successful when relocating them. The bands snap together securely and are loose enough where they won't harm the bird.

Great way to keep track of the chickens. Love the variety of colors. They fit well. Easy to get on and last.

I purchased these bands a year ago to mark my Coturnix Quail - worked great. I waited for my quail to reach sexual maturity so that I could easily distinguish males from the females and later on between the two males for rooster selection. First time putting the band on a wiggling bird took a couple of tries. After that, it was a pretty easy system (pull band apart, place bird on back in left hand, use right hand to push band on bird leg, press band sides together to close with right hand - I'm right handed). The birds are coming up on a year. My birds live outside in an aviary type ground enclosure - none of the bands have fallen off or broken even through Virginia winter. Quail have slim little legs. I recommend waiting to put the bands on the birds until they're about 6 weeks so that the birds toes are big enough to prevent the band from slipping off. I took off one star from this review for color options - I wish the bands came in more colors so that I can also distinguish between the birds for hatching/age.

Bands are the perfect size for smaller birds. Good quality and go on very easily. I would highly recommend these.

So nice to be able to tell my Orpington's apart. Much easier to call them by name. :) they fit nicely.

I would say right now we’re at about a 10% fail rate. Meaning that 10% of them fall off of the chickens legs.

I have American Bresse chickens. I wanted to be able to select for temperament and forage ability with my parent flock. I really only need the numbers to be visible while I am considering which chickens to keep, about 10 weeks after installing. There are 10 bands for each color so I am able to use other colors for birds I add to my flock later on.So far, ~6 weeks later, all the numbers are vibrant and easy to read. I don't like it being 3 digits though.There are enough colors that I am able to mark birds I like vs those I am considering. I like that I can snap on and off the bands so I can use it on more than 1 bird.I put them on when they were 6 weeks old and they have all stayed on, ~6 weeks so far. I did have an issue with one of the smaller 6 week old chicks kicking it off a day after installing but stayed on after that. I love the snap on design.

Purchased 2 years ago as a means to keep tract of which hen was which year for egg production/culling purposes. Most leg bands have already fallen of the hens. Looking for a metal band brand now to replace this cheap ones.
