What's the purpose/point ? 
I ask as they seem to come in packets of mixed colours,
 
IF I wanted to hatch and rear one lot of eggs/chicks and then a second lot just a week or two later, then again a week or two later.........

Surely i'd want a seperate colour for each batch so I can keep record of dates hatched and due for despatch ?

But it seems a bit mad that I have to buy loads of bags of leg rings to get a certain number of one colour

Exactly so BBTM 

That's why you can buy mixed bags - so that you can tell which chook is which when the all look the same or just buy single colours.

Thanks,
thats exactly what I needed - somewhere to buy single colours,     the few places I'd looked only appeared to  sell mixed bags

My local farm supplies place sells them in packs of 10 of one colour ...

I've used the multi coloured ones because when I first got my ex batts I couldn't tell them apart.  All looked equally decrepit.

Can recognise individuals now, but have kept the rings on.  They're handly if you can't make out distinguishing features
