Chick'A Snap Ring 8 mm

What precautions should be taken?

Make sure to choose the right size and prefer the official ring. This will prevent discomfort for the animal (the ring can get caught in branches…). For roosters, take care to place the ring above the spur before it gets too large.

At what age can we ring them?

Generally, we ring at around 7 to 8 weeks; after that, the leg is too thick to fit the ring.
