Wanting to keep chickens at home but not sure how to start? 
 
Why not come to one of our hen-keeping courses for beginners run by Lesley Austin, held at Barking in Mid-Suffolk.

 

Find out all you need to know, meet Lesley's hens and enjoy a delicious buffet style lunch (please advise us of any special dietary requirements), all for only £50. You will have a great and eggsciting time and go home ready to keep these endearing little creatures and thoroughly enjoy it!

 
You might want to bring your cheque book or some extra cash as there may be some chicken-related goodies you'd be interested in taking home!
 
Our courses are held in small groups in Barking. You will visit Lesley's garden to handle the hens and ask as many questions as you need. Have a look at our Omlet 'Eglu' and Forsham Cottage 'Boughton' Ark to help you decide on housing for your hens.

 

You will receive a folder of information, a certificate and maybe some of Lesley's 'girls' eggs if they are in egg laying mode!

Henschool is pleased to be sponsored by Flubenvet
I regularly use Flubenvet 1% powder to worm my hens, I find it easy to use and there is no egg withdrawal period which means we can keep eating the eggs even while the hens are being treated. Therefore I was very happy to be associated with their products when they wanted to get closer links with Henschool.
