Poultry ID Bands

Birds of a feather may flock together, but when it comes to meeting their socialization, health and other needs, keepers need to be able to tell them apart quickly.

Track Chickens, Gamebirds, Waterfowl and More

The right bands can help you mark fowl for transport between the fair and your backyard or farm, headed to processing facilities or otherwise. They use numbers, codes, letters, barcodes and other custom info to help you stay organized and identify your birds with ease.

Used for Various Purposes

Some bands are utilized to determine breeds, and they are made to fit many popular chicken varieties, from smaller lines such as Silkies to larger birds including English Orpingtons. Others point out individuals in a group, indicating their pedigree, noting specific behaviors such as broodiness, recognizing their participation in shows or specifying that they're for sale. If you need a way to note birds’ ages, different shades can indicate each year or life stage. A choice few can even simplify health monitoring, identifying which members of what avian species may need medical observations or treatments for different diseases.

Leg and Wing Bands

For a temporary solution, you may opt to wrap our spiral leg bands around your birds’ lower limbs. Made of either plastic, aluminum or another avian-friendly lightweight metal or polymer, they can be removed and replaced easily as fowl grows. Some keepers may prefer more tamper-resistant permanent options, less likely to be lost by species known to be especially active. In such cases, we recommend a wing band, attachable to the webbing of a young bird’s upper extremity..
