We are raising Peking duck and mixed breed chickens for meat and do not want to accidentally butcher a mature breeding duck or mature laying hen. My rooster is easy to identify by color and his mature spurs thank heavens.Mallorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276734745836105483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-53765303903814492162014-11-10T19:36:49.275-05:002014-11-10T19:36:49.275-05:00I'm so glad she's doing well!

Those zip ties are much easier to spot on clean legged breeds. <br /><br />I'm glad Minnie and you are doing well!<br /><br />~Lisa MLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-25623728114981822842014-11-06T05:31:18.412-05:002014-11-06T05:31:18.412-05:00tHANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST , I bougt some sil...tHANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST , I bougt some silkie chickens around 4 months ago and am new to chicken raising. I bought them of what i thought was a trusted breeder. I never even knew about clip ring or ties for identification. Anyhow 4 months later being today I noticed Minnie my silkie was limping and did everything thing you stated there was a zip ties on her and i hadnt even noticed it for the past 4 months the breeder said nothing and being feather legged i didnt see anything. I was so worried thankfully it wasnt as grown in as your peggy but never the less such a stressing ordeal for minnie and myself. She is going great at the moment and seems very settled the swelling has gone right down in her leg allowing blood flow again and only a few drops of blood was lost keeping a close eye on her but hopefully all stays well.

I am so glad you knew what to do and the bird has made a great recovery.
