Use zip ties up to the age of 4 months then you can leg ring. Not sure about the metal as I use plastic but I would fit them when they are tight to go over the foot that way they won't come off |

Metal rings are fitted at 8 weeks give or take a week depends on what type of peafowl |

You can put the rings on at a young age you can use Colins idea [PeacockNSW] and use a little plasticine between the leg and ring to keep it on |

What about the wing tags until they are old enough to then leg ring is that worth doing or not? |

Willy, wing tags or wing bands are permanent so ne need to use leg rings at all. |

I don't like the wing tags as I think they look ugly on the fowl |
