COURSE FEEDBACK
A Great Course. Thank you to Karen and her family who were both welcoming and informative. I didn't know much about chicken keeping before attending, only what I had read in books. There was good practical advice and demonstrations and I left feeling confident about caring for my Omlet ladies I took home on the day.By Mary Hulme
Well Worth Attending. We have had our girls for about 5 weeks, but attending the beginners course was a great move. Not only was it a fun afternoon, but we both learned a great deal about looking after chickens, and left feeling much more confident - went straight home and clipped their wings! Unfortunately not able to attend Karens August Advanced course, but as soon as she has another date available, I will be amongst the first booking on it. Thanks Karen for making us feel so welcome, look forward to seeing you again.By Angela Turner
Really made to feel welcome. Really excellent course covering all aspects of chicken keeping in a straight forward and common sense manner. Family members made us feel so welcome and no question was too 'silly' to ask. Our Omlets beautiful chooks (picked up at the course) have settled in well and are giving us hours of pleasure. Looking forward now to our first egg. Many thanks for a great afternoon out. By Margaret Evans
