here in Lincolnshire a large feed merchant that has severalstores across leicstershire nottinghamshire and licolnshire ask you for a postcode-a house number even if you dont want a account facility.
Asked why this was they replied " in case theres a problem with the feed we can contact you " -
For chickens i replied?
espiecally for chickens ?
Is this i wonder a defra ploy to see by the level of feed bought who may have more chickens than they advise they have or a way to make all smallholders even with a minority of birds be accountable to future legislation like movement of cattle passports.
Sheep i understand are being discussed about having passports - is this the beginning for chickens too ?
