Figure 4.

The stages of pouch application with Panel A showing hen restraint and plucked thigh. Hens are placed gently on their side with the handler using one hand to restrain the hen and the other to carefully straighten the leg being used. Panel B shows how the four strips of Leukoplast® tape are used to loosely adhere the pouch to the skin (described in Step 3) before the final bandaging using the cohesive bandage (Panel C). The cohesive bandage should be firm enough to be secure but not so tight as to cause any discomfort.
