Advanced Course

Advanced Courses

If you already keep chickens, this course is ideal; an experienced poultry keeper will teach you more about chicken physiology, common ailments - what you can treat at home and most importantly when to go to a vet. This session is designed to give you confidence in handling your flock, and the extensive notes can be then taken home to refer to at a later date

You will learn about:

• Observation of looks and behaviour
• Handling your hens
• Introducing new chickens
• Treating injuries
• Feeding your hens
• Common Health Supplements
• Diagnosing and treatment of common illness
• Learn from others in the discussion and questions session
• Get a bulging goody bag and a compre-HEN-sive set of notes

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. Please don’t hesitate to call the yard on 01608 683912 should you have any further queries.

Please note that the yard is the Omlet UK stockist, so you will be able to pre-order your housing and purchase all the other necessities to take home with you when you attend your course.

Recent feedback:-

As an arguably more experienced chicken keeper having now had my (original) girls almost 3 years, I thought it time to really get into the subject matter and Clare's Advanced Course seemed just the ticket on paper. A clearly enthusiastic chicken keeper, Clare's effervescent and energetic presentation proved better in practice than even my highest hopes having read the 'brief'. What it taught me was, actually, I am not that experienced as it really opened my eyes in several areas. Most noticeably in recognising ailments and being more proactive in husbandry. I also found out that - as a treat - they will eat much more than I have been giving them! The moment I first turned the chicken upside down to examine will stay with me for a long time (Clare will know what I mean - lol!). I am more confident, comfortable and possibly even more caring as an owner now and my girls had better start getting used to MUCH more handling! Thanks to Clare for an enjoyable and informative session (and fellow students - Wendy and I had a great time and it was lovely to meet you all).
