Chicken Keeping Courses

​

Avian Influenza 2022-2023

 

18/01/2023 as promised, an update on the Avian Influenza (AI) and courses situation; at the moment we are all sitting tight through the worst AI lockdown in decades. Most important to me is to keep your flocks, and the beautiful birds at the course venue safe; I am in regular touch with the authorities, and anticipate that we'll have the go-ahead to hold the courses in the spring, and I will keep everyone informed if it is necessary to change any of the 2023 dates.

​

2023 dates are still booking and available.

​

 

I have been teaching fun and informative Chicken Keeping Courses - at both beginner and Advanced levels - for 15 years. My courses are aimed at both the complete beginner, and also the more advanced keeper; they are informative with plenty of hands-on practical work with chickens, experienced advice, as well as products to review and suggest.

​

My Advanced Chicken Keeping Course draws chicken keepers from all over the UK!

​

I provide a very relaxed atmosphere, and encourage your involvement throughout the course; after all keeping hens should be enjoyable, not a chore. Chicken handling and cake eating are compulsory (although not at the same time!) and you will get plenty of opportunities to ask questions as the course is steered by your requirements. You will also receive a compre-HEN-sive goody bag full of supplier information, course notes, pens, free gift, samples and (if I can wangle it) money off vouchers.

​

I run all my own courses, and am also available to come and talk to your groups, such as companies, schools, Brownies, Guides, the WI and charities - especially animal rescue charities - to give a basic overview of life with chickens. Check out my video page for a taster of the videos I have recorded for various companies........ and some just for fun.
