On-site with the flock / Horsham, England (broiler and backyard meat-bird flocks)
Broiler/backyard meat-bird gait score (Bristol scale) — Horsham, England.
A person watches each sampled bird walk at the flock on site with the flock and scores its gait zero to five on the Bristol scale, recording any contact dermatitis signs. Read all of it
Not funded yet. Settles as earned credit, $140 proposed.
Proof it takes, the deadline, the level

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Score each sampled bird's gait 0-5 on the Bristol scale at the flock in Horsham, England. There is no current record of how well the flock's birds walk, or of hock, breast and footpad sores.
Fund it for $140. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
No special training is needed to score gait. Never treat: separate and route to a veterinarian any bird scoring 4-5 or in pain; with no vet and ongoing pain, humane on-farm euthanasia is the alternative, never leaving it untreated or home-medicated.
The full safety list for this job:
- A rising flock-level trend of 3 or more scores routes to a poultry veterinarian or extension service for a growth-rate, stocking, or genetics review.
- Sudden multi-bird lameness with other illness signs is a possible disease event that follows the flock's biosecurity and reportable-disease reporting route.

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- stopwatch or phone timer
- notebook or scoring sheet/app
- a clear, flat, dry lane for the bird to walk
- camera or phone for documentation
- hand sanitizer or footbath for biosecurity between houses
Steps
- 1. Select a representative sample of birds from the flock using a stated method (for example, every Nth bird encountered along a walked transect) and record the sample size.
- 2. Encourage each sampled bird individually to walk a short, unobstructed, flat, dry lane of about 3-5 meters, without chasing or handling it roughly.
- 3. Score each bird's gait 0-5 on the Bristol scale, from 0 (normal, agile) through 5 (unable to walk or stand), recording the score against the bird's pen or row location.
- 4. Inspect each sampled bird's hocks and footpads for contact-dermatitis signs (hock burn, footpad lesions, breast blisters) and record alongside its gait score.
- 5. Tally the flock-level score distribution and the share scoring 3 or higher, and compare it to the prior round's distribution when one exists.
- 6. Separate and route any bird scoring 4 or 5, or showing pain or isolation behavior, per the decision rules.
- 7. Enter the sample method, per-bird scores, dermatitis findings, and flock distribution into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Sample size and sampling method stated; every sampled bird scored individually 0-5 on the Bristol scale
- Contact-dermatitis welfare signs (hock burn, breast blister, footpad dermatitis) recorded alongside gait score
- Flock-level score distribution and the share scoring 3 or above recorded, compared against the prior round when one exists
- Any bird scoring 4-5, or showing pain/isolation behavior, routed to a veterinarian or humane on-farm euthanasia per the decision rules
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage, plus one Vealth service fee of 10% shown apart; the worker is paid the whole wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788845420898_4zgpiav","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
