The non ETS fancier is definately being discriminated against.
I am a member of RPRA and Shu.
I normally buy rings from the RPRA but cancelled this years order as I have no intention of handicapping my birds with these monstrocities which can foul obstructions, and even damage the hen when mating.
I appreciate that they may be more uniform once a chip is inserted but the last thing my birds need is a set of plastic spurs.
