Very nice. Easy to put and take off. Very sturdy. Small farm so I do not really need 100, smaller amount option would be nice so that I could order different colors.

I got the 8mm for our Japanese quail, works on most of them, but about a 1/3 of them have fallen off. Their feet are too small, and slip out (I think when they lay down and stretch their feet out), all the of ones I have found have still been closed. They are easy to put on, but just not small enough for us.

After 2 of our hens had to have spiral leg bands surgically removed from their legs, I went on the hunt for something better. This past weekend we removed old spiral bands on all the girls and replaced with these wide lock bands. They are easy to put on and remove, and the hens don't seem to mind them.

These are handy. I've only used a few so far, but they are really cool. Chicks don't seem to mind them.

Bought these to identify younger hens. Now finding them littered throughout the pasture. Wouldn't recommend them.
