Chicken Courses

So you are thinking about keeping chickens.  But you are unsure about how easy they are to look after.  Don’t worry anymore due to popular demand we have now started to hold monthly chicken keeping courses. 

Please find below all the information on our new courses.  If you would like any more details please do not hesitate to get in touch.

General Course Information
The course will be held by myself or my good friend Rupert.  We want these courses to be fun and for you to learn as much as you can and get hands on with the chooks.  The maximum people to attend each course will be six.  As we feel that way its more personal and you will learn more.

The course will be £20 per person and will last between 90 minutes and two hours.  You will receive an email of all we have discussed during the course.  Pens and paper will be provided if you want to take notes. 

Courses will be running every month.  However if there is the demand we will do more.   We will also do family / friends courses there will need to be a minimum of four people to do this.
