The courses are held at The Weald & Downland Open Air Museum

These courses are hosted by one of Britain's leading trained poultry experts, David Bland,
whose books and monthly magazine articles are always in constant demand.

The courses are packed full of information about keeping chickens and other poultry.

                       The subjects will include:                           

Handling, feeding, housing, hygiene, breeding, regulations and the retailing of eggs.

                    Previous participants have included people wishing to keep a few chickens in their back garden,                   through to representatives from manufacturing feed companies and garden centres.

   Whether you plan to keep just a few chickens, or require a better basic understanding to improve your hens welfare,    devoid of the many associated myths, then you will find the husbandry courses both informative and entertaining!

The courses costs as little as £50 per person and also includes coffee, tea and a light lunch.

                                                                                PLEASE NOTE:                                                                                     These courses tend to be sold out before the event, so it is advisable to book as early as possible.
