Our fun, lively and informative chicken afternoons provide you with all you need to know about keeping your poultry healthy and happy.

Ideal for first time chicken owners, or those thinking about taking up chicken keeping.
We give you practical advice, tips and support in all aspects of poultry husbandry.
For those already well versed in the art of chicken maintenance, we also offer more advanced courses.
However, we like to encourage a mixed range of ability on course, so you not only learn from us, you learn from each other.

We love daft questions and are committed to making these days as fun and helpful as possible. A definite afternoon out with a difference, for all the family, in a beautiful and rural South Yorkshire location.

Once we’ve done all the chicken schmoozing, the Hen Party will begin.
We have an informal chat, with a question and answer session in our teepee with traditional tea, cake and sandwiches. (Don’t worry, there’ll be no chicken sandwiches on offer!)

And of course, nobody walks away empty handed. They’ll be a goody bag for every guest full of handy hints and hen treats!

Come along to one of our courses, there’s so much more to chicken keeping than meets the eye.

How Do You Capture Eggs That Fresh?

Today’s home owners are creating vegetable gardens on their property that rival elaborate landscape designs. The most posh neighborhoods in their communities have nothing over a yard that rewards the grower and contributes to self-sufficiency.

Okay, so it’s a jump from having a well producing garden to raising chickens, right? Not necessarily. Raising enough chickens to produce fresh eggs for your family isn’t as difficult as it might appear.

Chickens do not require much space and once set up require very little maintenance. In fact, it’s so simple that you’ll wonder why you haven’t done it earlier!

Raising Chickens For Eggs – 5 Effective Tips

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 08:39:07 +0000

http://www.howtoraisechicken.com – The basic ingredient for thousands of recipes will be eggs. Without it, there would be no cakes, pastries, and even scrumptious breakfast meals. It is produced by hens after reaching their six months of age. Raising chickens for eggs is prolific in the first two years of a hen’s life. As your hen grows old, production of eggs also decreases. So, if you want to have continuous production of eggs, you should consider having one to two new birds per year.

#11-BABY CHICKS-ROOSTERS OR HEN-IDENTIFICATION-RAISING CHICKENS-PIONEER LIVING-SURVIVAL

admin — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 13:44:32 +0000

This video will share with you, the songs of the new baby chickens, that will warn you, when she’s going to start laying her first eggs.

1) HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE HEN-BABY CHICKS OR ROOSTER-BABY CHICKS?
It’s difficult to identify at a glance a rooster or “COCKEREL” from a future hen “PULLET”. Usually between 5-8 weeks old a young rooster will start crowing at dawn.” A PULLET or female baby chicken will chirp like a bird and coo just before they start laying eggs.

2)THE YOUNG FEMALE CHICKEN WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE
IS GOING TO START LAYING EGGS BY HER SONG!
PRELAYING-STAGE-SONGS:Before a young “PULLET”-female baby chicken’s chirp and sing

WARNING GOING-TO-START-LAYING EGG SONG: The female Pullet’s voice changes and she begins to shriek, scream and cackling just before she starts laying her first eggs. When you hear this warning of egg laying song start checking your nesting boxes everyday. She’s ready to lay eggs.

CHICKEN IN A 5 GALLON BUCKET_NESTING BOX-SOLAR OVEN-RAISING CHICKENS

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 18:51:31 +0000

This was a video request from a friend, who wanted to know if she could use a 5 gallon bucket on it’s side, as a nesting bucket. So we did the experiment to find out if this would really work.

The 5 gallon bucket’s interior was 9 3/4 inches wide and 9 3/4 inches tall.
We measured our young pullets of 20 weeks old, the smallest one was almost 24″ tall and nearly 10″ across the breast.

We decided this wasn’t safe for our chickens, and decided however it would make a good solar oven, after we painted it black. Thanks for your questions, they are always welcomed.
