Title: Poultry Keeping Courses
Post by: LeonardCottage on November 19, 2010, 09:10:41 am

Hi folks.

Has anyone here attended poultry keeping courses before?  If so, what were the most useful topics covered?  What would you say distinguishes between a 'good' course and an 'outstanding' course?

Thanks

Rosemary used to do them when she lived here, not sure if she's going to carry on doing them now she's moved, but any of her students can tell you about them.
I would suspect she covered housing, feeding, diseases, general health, ground management, eggs, costings - perhaps other topics too.
