Guidance, enthusiasm and affection, developed from a lifetime of keeping, watching, nurturing and admiring chickens

I have been working with chickens for what seems like forever, having grown up around livestock. My work ranges from teaching Beginner’s and Advanced Chicken Keeping Courses, to writing articles and creating videos for poultry publications, YouTube channels, poultry shops and livestock nutrition companies, including Cotswold Chickens, Nettex Poultry, and Natural Animal Feeds (NAF). Along with advising on online poultry forums

I also provide online advice for the backyard chicken keepers in the form of ‘How To’ videos and one-on-one support. Have a look on my videos page at a few of the chicken advice videos which I have created to impart helpful guidance on chicken care.

My website gives details of the services I provide, and the chicken keeping advice I give. Please contact me to find out how I can help with anything from taking care of your chickens, to improving your poultry products to bring to market.

All the best in your chicken keeping endeavours!

Clare has extensive knowledge of poultry care. Clare communicates her expertise simply, coherently and with a great deal of love and care for the chickens and the backyard chicken keeper. It has been a joy to work with Clare.

Andrew

A great introduction to chicken keeping delivered at a good pace and at a level that complete novices and those who are just starting out with chickens will both enjoy. Clare was funny, to the point, ensured everyone was involved and is a mine of useful information. I’m looking forward to my next course. PS the cakes were delicious.
