Hi Alison
I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday's course - I have always been looking forward to the eggs, but I didn't realise how restful holding a chicken could be! I think I might have been bitten by the chicken bug too...
Many thanks

Courses and Events
The Chicken Keeper Course is aimed at anyone wanting to keep chickens for the first time and will give you the confidence to start on a very rewarding hobby. With simple and thoughtful care your chickens will be a pleasure to keep, with the wonderful bonus of all those delicious eggs. Even if you have kept some hens for a while you will also benefit from the course as it provides helpful tips on making hen keeping easier and answers to those questions which inevitably crop up. The objective of the course is to provide you with all the information you need to keep your chickens happy and healthy.
For those who have had hens for a little while and want to know more about chickens in more depth we have the Advanced Chicken Keeper Course.
During the school holidays we run Children's Chicken Keeper Courses to encourage children to keep chickens and enjoy cooking with their own fresh eggs.
We also run Kill, Pluck, Gut and Bone courses, which are very hands on and much better than the very descriptive title sounds. If you are considering keeping meat chickens, then this course is a must. You will take home two chickens, one of which you will have boned ready to stuff and roll. Remember to plan your stuffing for a really special meal. The other chicken will be plucked ready for you to gut at home to reinforce what you have learnt.
All the course and event details are on the links on the left hand side and the course dates will be found by clicking on the Course Dates tab above.
