If you’re considering keeping chickens, curious about what’s involved or are new or inexperienced and would like to gain confidence, this informal course provides an eggs-cellent (sorry!) introduction to the popular hobby of poultry keeping. The course is designed for beginners, so no previous hands-on experience or theoretical knowledge is required.

The course will cover:

• A brief introduction to the origin and history of poultry-keeping and breeds
• What you’ll need to get started
• Where to purchase your birds
• Types of housing
• Management strategies
• Feed and daily routine
• Welfare and health
• Common problems and treatments
• Selling eggs and the law

There will be a hands-on and practical session where you will learn how to perform an examination and administer simple treatments.

A light lunch will be provided along with tea and coffee. Please note any dietary requirements at the time of booking.

Please arrive at 9:45am for tea/coffee, for a 10:00am start.
