What you will learn
This is a beginner’s session for people who are thinking about keeping a few chickens. Children are welcome on this course. A lot of topics are covered, including the different types of egg-laying chicken and where you can buy them, housing and runs – various options and the pros and cons of each, feeding your chickens, disease, worming, dealing with mites and lice, protecting your chickens from the fox, introducing new chickens, as well as handling chickens and clipping their wings.
Administration
The course lasts three hours, morning courses start at 10 am and finish about 1 pm, while afternoon courses start at 2 pm and finish at about 5 pm. Part of the session is spent outside looking at the chicken pens. Outdoor shoes or boots are advisable, with a change of footwear for when we are inside the teaching room. We will be handling birds that can be a bit mucky! Everybody gets to take away a set of notes and some fresh eggs.
