Sudden thought, the incubator is at home as is the chick rearing kit. Should I also register this location with DEFRA?. It would add to my collection of reference numbers.
i would register that with defra even as piece of mind.
i have three registered areas where i may or may not keep hens at anyone time - my house - my grans (i have used her garage as an indoor chick holding area) and my local primary school where i have done a few project with that required leaving hens/eggs/for a few weeks.
but it's each to their own how they play it.
as for the initial question - am i a farmer, you are if you feel you are - i have no grants or anything, but i like to class my self as one
low key poultry farmer. it's a state of mind not just whats on paper
