I can't say for sure but I do believe it hurts while it happens but not much or at all by the next day and surely not when theyre weeks old to grown.
When it punches their reaction leads me to believe it comes with some pain or at least discomfort. Worse then piercing and I know because I've had lip, nose, brows etc pierced in my youth.
Sometimes the hole does completely come out and when a few days to a week I can pull it loose or sometimes they scab over and I pull that off to make sure its not growing shut. They don't seem to notice any of that at all.
Sometimes ive got too far in or too close or on edge of toe and that does make them jump and will bleed so I know that has to hurt.
Thats the part I don't like and my eyesight isn't the best so sometimes its my bad and I feel bad but it's my best over all option because of the amount I hatch and all the varieties I need to keep track of.
Ive heard of wing bands and know nothing about them but look into that at some point.
