banding indian fantails


With feathers on their feet, what size snap on band do you put on them and what about seamless bands for the young. All my fantails are white and I need to tell them apart.

Have a look here: http://www.siegelpigeons.com/catalog-bands.html

Looks like size 11 seamless band for Indian Fantails. Don't think that most of the snap ons would be large enough. Just call and ask .. Perhaps some of the spiral bands would work.

If I'm not mistaken, I think most snap ons are only 8mm. I've never seen any bigger than that

Many Frillback breeders put the band above the joint in the leg... am curious if you do this with other muffed breeds? I put my bands at the normal spot between foot and joint... and haven't ever had trouble...

OK, got my bands from foys today and ordered 9mm numbered wrap around. They seem to fit well and easy to read. I'll let you know if I have any trouble but a least I know number three and six are cocks now. Not sure about the rest yet.
