CLOSED RINGS 2011
The BWA has negotiated the chance for its members to purchase their rings for 2011 via the Poultry Club. The colour
is yellow and prices remain the same as last year.
There are advantages to closed ringing. It is easier to keep records of your stock over the years, with a different
colour for each year and an individual number for each bird. You can identify your stock at shows.
You can transfer your birds to the purchaser of your stock, by sending in the ring identity number, year, your name
and address and that of the purchaser, to reregister the birds. Closed rings may be worn by show birds.
Recommended sizes:
Heavy geese: J 27, Medium geese: H24, Light geese: G22
Heavy ducks: E18, Light ducks: K15, Call ducks: A10
Miniature Appleyard: C13, Black East India: B11
Wildfowl: Please consult a member of the wildfowl committee for advice on sizes if required.
Rings are available in batches of 10 of one size, at £2.50 for 10 rings. Please add £2.50 for postage.
