IMPORTANT Deadline for registration of poultry

[enrico]

Today, 1st October, is the last day to register your poultry on the .gov.uk site if you keep less than 50 birds.
Good luck with that. The site is inundated with people trying!

if you have fewer than fifty (and most only have a handful in their urban back gardens) who is going to know?

... and if they have a couple of birds in very rural locations, just as unlikely to track down unless they have a loud cockerel!

I guess because it is a legal requirement with a max £5000 fine or 6 months inside. Registration is free! Is it worth the risk?

It's not about being a renegade. It's about being responsible and doing as you'd be done by. There is a risk of flocks transmitting AI.

I registered a month or so back because we have a neighbour who is the type to complain, purely out of spite. The whole site was useless for doing so. Didn't say what information was required or anything. I ended up just emailing them to say we kept about a dozen to a dozen and a half chickens.

Likewise. I gave them the CPH number from when I had sheep too.

Just messaged my daughter so she can message a friend who can message her parents (still following?) because they have a single pet hen and probably haven't even heard about the new rules.
