They pierce the wing of the chicks with an ID band that clamps around the bend in their wing. Used for tracking. I'm guessing, and it's only a guess, that these chicks were wing banded because they could grow with them on into adulthood. I assume the operation wouldn't want to individually capture thousands of chickens to put leg bands on them when their legs got big enough. These birds must be parent birds for a hatchery. I wish the woman I've been working with would put me in touch with her daughter so I can ask all these questions directly.
I should have called it banding. http://eshop.bellsouth.com.au/JIFFY-WING-BANDS
