I really like these snap leg bands. I like to use them for my geese and turkeys. I have a couple of different sizes, though and I think they run a little small. If they are too loose, however, your smarter turkeys or chickens with with narrow beaks (but I’ve not had the problem with waterfowl) especially can figure out how to get out of them, as the band closure does slide after it is snapped shut, so I have a very occasional band that they get off. But the band isn’t damaged and goes right back on. Just wish Premier 1 had more colors in the large sizes.

Perfect size for ducks. Easy to close. Exactly what I needed.

I bought some 2 or 3 years ago. They were waaaaay too small. The rooster size was too small for most of my hens, and the few that did fit were skin tight... which is bad for their legs.
They also had a tendency to fall off. Hopefully some of these things have changed by now. I would like a re-usable colored band, but for now I’ll have to try zip ties or something, I suppose.

These leg bands were exactly what I was looking for! They worked perfectly for my quail.

Some of them have come off.
