Learn Humane Culling Technique

Alison is a DEFRA registered poultry slaughter woman and we run courses to teach you how to humanely kill a chicken. It could be because the chicken is injured, an unwanted cockerel, or a chicken destined to be the next meal.

You will be taught to kill a chicken quickly and humanely in a way that you will be able to use easily at home.

Rehomes

We know that circumstances change and from time to time we get rehome chickens in. Our policy is to take hens in free and we rehome them at £5 to the new owner to cover their keep here. Unfortunately we get an overriding number of cockerels, and whilst we don't charge the new owners for them, they are usually here for a long time. We therefore charge £5 to take in a cockerel to cover our costs.

Contact us from the tab below if you are interested in taking some rehome hens or a cockerel for free, or need to find a new home for your hens.

W6MUM


I am selling my number plate, which is on retention, and hope that it finds another Mum who will love it as much as I did! It is £999 and is great value. It is listed on a number plate website for £1,650 and the difference is their commission.

Contact me by email if you are interested, contact details at the bottom of the page.

Brooders for Sale

We have ex-hire Brooders for sale. They are in good working order and take up to 6 chicks comfortably. They are £30 each.

Hi Alison

Just a note to say Thank You for our great talk at Waterlooville library this morning, you are a wonderful speaker who obviously knows and loves her subject well.

You have really inspired us to finish getting everything ready for our chickens and we have decided to come up to you tomorrow, get some rubber chippings and finally select some “girls”!

Thanks again,

Vanessa & Vernon

Learn Humane Culling Technique £15

Alison is a DEFRA registered poultry slaughter woman and we run courses to teach you how to humanely kill a chicken. It could be because the chicken is injured, an unwanted cockerel, or a chicken destined to be the next meal.

You will be taught to kill a chicken quickly and humanely in a way that you will be able to use easily at home. Killing a chicken does not require strength and the technique is easily learnt. If you are at all worried about killing a chicken, this is the place to do it where there is expert help on hand to explain the technique clearly before you have a go. You are then helped individually when it is your turn. You can bring your own chickens with you if you want to and we will have chickens here for the course.

The cost is £15 and can be paid on the day by cash or cheque.
