Chick'A Snap Ring 12 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 (ring that gets 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?

Ringing is generally done around 7 to 8 weeks, as beyond that the leg is too thick to fit the ring.
