After looking on rfuk today and reading a thread about micro chipping hatchlings from day one i thought i would ring DEFRA to find out the facts , i was told that yes they were thinging about chipping hatchlings but its not been approved yet , the idea is that the chip is very small ( used for bee's ) and could be inserted on day old hatchlings so that there history could be traced from day one , there would be no need then to have there a10's changed so the one they get on day one stays with them for life , this is however only one idea put forward, DEFRA tell me they will try to get something put up on there website maybe next week about it.
