Does anyone know where i can buy suitable plastic leg bands for adult chickens (not bantam) in a bricks and mortar store...numbered ones would be preferred...I hate buying stuff online....I'm getting old I guess..lol

I'm assuming that the date listed on the website is current for this year, since the auction sales are always on Saturday and March 18 is a Saturday in 2017.

I think Tom is after that human contact thing

I buy them from berry Hill, but have actually run out of different colours to buy now.
I colour code the years, so I can tell at a glance who is who without catching the bird, but if you need more then one band on some birds to distinguish separate "families" shortage of colours becomes a problem really fast.
