Our chicken keeping courses are suitable for everyone. First time keepers, those just thinking about it or those who already have birds and want to learn more. No question is to silly, we answer all questions in simple terms and focus on the things that you will come across whilst keeping poultry, we'll help you understand your birds and get the most out of your chicken keeping experience.

Feeding
Treats & supplements

Eggs
Hybrids v's Pure breeds

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 Karen's 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.
