Leg Bands vs. Wing Bands
Birdcrazy:
I get my numbered leg bands from Smith Poultry & Game Bird Supply, Bucyrus, Ks. Their catalog is on their website.

Susan - I order 4, 5, & 6 from Sheryl which will get the chicks up to a month old. I put size 4 on them as I take them out of the incubator and then switch to size 5 about 10 days later, then switch to size 6 after 10 more days. By the time they out grow size 6, they are about a month old. MAKE SURE TO CHECK BANDS OFTEN!
After they have outgrown size 6 rubber bands, I switch them to Hakes' Twin City Poultry Supplies bandettes (size 7), which will take them through another few months, then I switch them to size 9. Here is a link to Victor Hakes' website: https://www.twincitypoultrysupplies.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8_24&zenid=7d36bde79e7c6c1024055ce3fa848489
He was a great supporter of the ABC last year and is a great guy to deal with!

Sharon - I know it's been 6 months, but how is your wrist doing?
DeWayne Edgin:
You can also get leg bands on ebay. Thats were i get mine for my adults.
Sharon Yorks:
It's doing much better. I don't have any trouble with it on a daily bases and don't even think about it, but when I tried to do a pushup last week, it said, "No way!" I'm certain the bones are healed, just don't know why I can't put much weight on it. It's probably more tendon related and I just need to be stretching and working it more.
