Well according to the DNA Solutions, if the bird bleeds, you have inflicted pain . . sounds pretty logical to me. Will post a video of the process when our chicks are old enough. Its also worth noting the pin prick is like .5 of a millimeter deep and the blood also stops very quickly, so time is limited in getting the sample
