There are a few companies that sell the chips (they are usually targeted as mentioned toward dogs and cats) The chips average about 12-15 bucks each, and you can after injecting them send the information into the company that sells them to have it logged. You can also order a scanner to scan them yourself. The last time I looked into it there were 2 types of scanners available, 1 which would only read the chips from that particular vendor (around 100 bucks for that scanner) or another which would read 2 or more types of chips. (I believe this one was around 200)

If I ever get to the point I have high end animals in my collection I won't hesitate on having them chipped if nothing else to add one more layer of fraud/theft protection.
