Is it bad? What's it for?

It's not bad. It's a way to identify them.

It's better than banding young chicks and risking having the band cut off circulation. Its like getting an ear piecing.

Or sort of like tagging a calf. Only no tag. Just the hole.

It is like using a tiny hole punch to punch out a piece of webbing leaving a hole. It is horrifying. The chicks scream in horror. Blood sprays everywhere. Terrible.

Definitely like getting your ears pierced.

Me neither. I fear it. And also, I don’t wear jewelry. So my ears would just seal up.
