The issue is, if a bird gets stolen it's unlikely they will bring it out to show or to somewhere where it will get scanned. The scanners themselves are expensive, and I don't think any club owns one or scans birds. All one can do is be vigilant and take basic precautions. At shows keep an eye on things, and coop out seems like the time when things tend to turn up missing or confused.
And be careful who you trust at the show, I had someone I thought was a friend help us coop out at a show when I had to give a judge a ride to the airport. We were rushing to get him to the plane on time. Top birds of mine were swapped out with their inferior birds in the show box's when I got home. Nothing I can do about it, other than NEVER have anything to do with them again. Chalk one up for being an idiot once again.
I won an auction on BYC and I'm getting 12 blue & splash hatching eggs from Three Cedar Silkies!!!!!! I'm so excited and just had to share! Please send good hatching vibes my way...the last two hatches haven't gone so well.

I had 4 blue/splash babies hatch from three cedars eggs. As horrible as my last hatch went these guys still managed to make it, to me that says something
