This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Safety, read before you claim

This is biosecurity coaching. Sudden multi-bird deaths or neurological signs may be reportable avian influenza, so contact a licensed veterinarian and the national animal-health authority now and move no birds on or off the property.

The full safety list for this job:

  • The USDA hotline (1-866-536-7593) serves the United States only; this packet names no French authority or number, so the keeper confirms the local route with a veterinarian.
  • A sick bird routes to a veterinarian and is never home-treated.
  • Wash hands before and after handling live or dead birds for Salmonella hygiene, and supervise children closely around the flock.
  • The French survey's percentages describe those 1,160 respondents, never any one flock or keeper, and are context only.
  • This packet is independent of and not affiliated with INRAE, ENVT, the Universite de Toulouse or the survey authors: named as the real, verified home of a published survey, not an endorsement or partnership.
How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

  • The USDA APHIS Defend the Flock checklist(s) (aphis.usda.gov, free)
  • Walk-through access to the coop, run, feed/water storage, and every entry point
  • A notebook or the printed checklist
  • Prior audit's findings for trend

Steps

  1. 1. Walk the flock's 'Line of Separation': identify where dedicated space begins and confirm whether dedicated footwear/clothing (boots, coveralls) are used only inside that line, kept clean, and never worn to feed stores, shows, swaps, or other flocks.
  2. 2. Check visitor and new-bird practice: whether visitors are limited/logged and change footwear/clothing before entering, and whether every new or returning bird (shows, sales, swaps, vet visits) is quarantined at least 30 days in separate housing and airspace before rejoining the flock.
  3. 3. Inspect wild-bird and rodent exclusion at feed and water: covered/netted runs, sealed feed storage, no standing water attracting wild waterfowl, and rodent control around the coop.
  4. 4. Inspect cleaning and disinfection practice: coop/equipment cleaning cadence, disinfectant used, and whether shared equipment (crates, tools, egg flats) is cleaned between uses or locations.
  5. 5. Confirm the keeper knows the sick/dead-bird reporting route by name: the state veterinarian or USDA's toll-free line (1-866-536-7593), and knows not to move birds off-property while reporting.
  6. 6. Score each practice area present, partial, or absent against the checklist; record every gap with a specific fix the keeper accepts and a completion date.
  7. 7. Route any active signs observed during the audit (sick or dead birds, drop in water intake/egg production, respiratory or neurological signs) per the decision rules before finishing.

What counts as done

  • Line of Separation identified with dedicated footwear/clothing practice recorded present, partial, or absent
  • Visitor-limiting practice and new/returning-bird quarantine cadence recorded (30-day minimum per APHIS guidance)
  • Wild-bird and rodent exclusion from feed/water, and coop cleaning/disinfection cadence, both recorded
  • Keeper's sick/dead-bird reporting route confirmed by name: a licensed veterinarian and the national animal-health authority (the USDA 1-866-536-7593 line is US-only and does not apply in France), with every checklist gap routed to a fix + date

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

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.
