Its all quite easy and straight forward mate, all quite self explanatory. The guidance videos that were posted on the RPRA site at the beginning of all this are probably still available somewhere !! I'm Morgan can help you sort it out after you've repaired the loft roof over Easter mate πŸ˜‰πŸ€

Sure it is here as well George, after every one signed up you can expect random checks from Defra to check on birds etc

That's how it used to be. Now changing to include all keepers of birds. It will also include falconrys and any one who has any chickens, ducks etc in their back gardens.

No George. The new ruling is also for if you only have 1 chicken. If you have any birds at all you have to register by 1st October.
