Title: Leg rings
Post by: Declan on February 18, 2010, 02:24:08 am

What size of leg rings would you suggest for light sussex hens given they are a large breed.

I don't know what size - large fowl probably - but I prefer the spiral ones that expand a bit. The ones that are a band with a slip in fastener fall out fairly easily. I've never had a hen lose the spiral ones.

I bought 16mm from Cockerdoodlequack on Ebay and they're fine for all my large fowl except my cockerills.
