Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've managed to get a leg ring on two of the Bufflings.....the third has such bright yellow legs the ring I had allocated for it wouldn't show up!! Do the rings stretch as the babies legs get bigger, or will have to remove them and fit a bigger size...they are the flat band ones which wrap around the leg rather then the spring looking ones which my big girls wear.

Lewis Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You'll have to get bigger rings to replace them in a few weeks time. Some of mine were easy to get off, but others I just carefully cut off as it was easier to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thought so, but thought I should check...guess what I'll be doing soon then ! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I don't leg ring, I use blobs of food colouring or purple spray for identification purposes now Bridget Brahma was sporting purple feathers for a few weeks recently Now she's about ten foot taller than her sister Francesca so there's no need to re-apply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Perhaps that would be a better idea as I seem to have 2 that look the same and one odd one at the mo...a squirt of purple spray on one will be much less traumatic Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 a permenant marker would do as well or snip some feathers from one of their heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You know thats clever! The Diamond Doves don't have leg rings because they're tiny and I didn't really think about it, but now their chick has grown up she looks more like Judy so I cut a few of her tail feathers to make the normally round ended feathers flat, but I might get some food colouring or a marker pen on the inside of a flight feather so its normally hidden, but I know which one she is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
