Within a breed, chickens look alike. I'm using this product to differentiate between ages of flocks. The bands are staying on well so far. The hens don't seem to mind them. They were easy to put on.

We keep finding bands in our pasture that have fallen off. We banded our youngest hens so we'd know who to cull, and we were left having to guess on many of them.

I like these leg bands but like a couple of other people mentioned, you do not sell enough sizes. My Delaware hens legs (and certainly my roosters legs) are smaller than the turkey size you offer but I have had 2 chickens get injured by the next smaller size (the biggest chicken size). I would also love it if numbers were imprinted on the bands.

These were a little small for my Delaware hens and roosters. The hens with smaller legs they will work fine for. I have yet to see how long they stay on and whether I can get them off. Would love it if numbers were embedded (not printed on) these leg bands.
