Chicken Hill Baby Poultry Leg Bands 1/4-inch Medium – Pack of 200

Identify chicks at hatch with ease

Many chicks look similar when they first hatch until their plumage develops. Chicken Hill Baby Poultry Leg Bands offer a simple way to distinguish between breeds and varieties from day one. The soft stretchable bands slip over the legs without twisting, making application quick while keeping tiny feet comfortable.

Grow with your flock

These bands are sized to follow growing chicks through several stages. Available in Small 3/16-inch, Medium 1/4-inch, and Large 5/16-inch, they can be upgraded every 2 to 4 weeks as birds mature. This helps ensure a secure, non-binding fit during development.

Apply one band per leg or multiple bands to create a color-coded system for tracking individuals, breeds, or hatch groups. The bands are made from non-toxic medical-grade plastic elastic and are designed to withstand routine handling and flex without sagging.

Color coding and color sets

• Four color options: pink, green, orange, and purple for easy visual differentiation.
• Combining colors on each leg helps you quickly identify chicks across breeds or varieties.

Durability, safety, and ease of use

The soft stretch of the bands makes them easy to stretch over feet without forcing movement. The design aims to minimize handling stress during banding, while the non-toxic material stays gentle on growing legs. The bands hold up under repeated use in active environments.

What you get and sizing tips

• Available pack sizes: 100, 200, and 500, with extras included for ongoing use.
• Sizing guidance: 3/16-inch for day-old quail or small bantams; 1/4-inch for standard day-old chicks; 5/16-inch for ducks and geese.

Practical use cases

Ideal for hatcheries, backyard flocks, and shows where quick identification matters. Color coding supports organization when managing multiple breeds or batches, simplifying your record-keeping and routine checks.
