Workshop leader - Caroline Mackenzie

Caroline has kept poultry for 9 years, most of what she knows has been from hands on experience, but also books, online, vets and other poultry keepers. The workshop is very relaxed, providing information and chicken handling for the complete beginner.
Bring questions and concerns but we plan to cover : 

• Chicken types- bantam, large fowl, laying birds, POL (point of lay), meat birds, broody birds, cockerels !
• Chicken husbandry - housing, coop and run, nutrition - feed, grit, shell, treats; handling; hygiene; health; lifecycle - hatching, growing, laying, moulting, aging
• What about the garden ! 

Venue : Invergordon area (address and directions sent on booking)
