what size leg rings for standard layers? 8mm?
« on: October 06, 2015, 09:36:27 pm »
Just had a few more delivered so need to be able to distinguish the new from the old. Leg rings but I see there are a number of sizes.  Bar taking out a ruler and taking the circumference of my birds legs what size should I order?

I use 16mm for those. 8mm is for chicks or quail.

We use 16mm. As they get older their legs can get thicker so we feel this is a better choice.
