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.

Proof
feather-loss scored 0-2 for two body regions on a sample + pecking injuries plus red-mite signs observed + compared to the prior audit as a trend + every flagged finding routed for follow-up

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

Safety, read before you claim

This is welfare observation, not treatment, and injured or cannibalized birds are separated and routed to veterinary care, never home-treated. Sudden unexplained multi-bird mortality or neurological signs are a reportable HPAI flag: report now to the national animal-health authority, do not wait.

The full safety list for this job:

  • This includes never using unapproved products, since egg-residue law makes layer treatments a veterinary decision.
  • Wash hands after handling birds for Salmonella hygiene, especially around children.
  • The French figures describe 159 commercial flocks of trimmed-beak brown hens in two housing systems: they are context only, never a benchmark for any flock, and this packet takes no position on beak trimming and never advises on it or any housing change.
  • This packet is independent of and not affiliated with ANSES or the study authors: named as the real, verified home of a published flock survey, not an endorsement or partnership, and it names no French authority or rule since none was read.
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 AssureWel scoring guide (published protocol with photo standards)
  • A stated sampling plan (whole flock if small; a representative sample if large)
  • A flashlight for red-mite checks at perch ends/crevices (best after dark)
  • The prior audit's scores for trend

Steps

  1. 1. State the sample: whole flock for small keeps, or a representative walk-through sample for larger flocks; record the number scored.
  2. 2. Score each sampled bird's feather loss 0-2 at head/neck and 0-2 at back/vent per the AssureWel photo standards, without catching birds unless necessary.
  3. 3. Record active injuries: pecking wounds, vent damage, and any cannibalism signs; separate injured birds as found.
  4. 4. Check for red mite: inspect perch ends and crevices (grey ash-like clusters; at night, mites on birds); record presence.
  5. 5. Note context drivers observed: range/enrichment use, feeder space, litter condition, lighting.
  6. 6. Compare scores to the prior audit; record the trend.
  7. 7. Route findings: husbandry/management fixes named with dates, injured/sick birds to veterinary care, and any reportable-disease sign to the state veterinarian immediately.

What counts as done

  • Sample size and sampling method stated; feather-loss score 0-2 recorded per bird for head/neck and back/vent
  • Active pecking injuries, vent wounds, and red-mite signs (checked at night or under perch ends) recorded
  • Trend vs the prior audit kept once one exists
  • Flagged findings routed: management/husbandry fix named, or veterinary consult for injured/sick birds — and sudden multi-bird deaths reported to the national animal-health authority (reportable-disease 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, 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.

Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
Vote for it, free Pledge backing, free
