Bios on course leaders:-

Jeannette Owens:-

Local chicken enthusiast Jeannette Owens has been keeping chickens for years and
knows all the in & outs of raising chickens for pleasure, egg production
& meat. Still a concert pianist by trade, Jeannette moved from California
to London to Lyndhurst & embraced the country life to the full. She now
teaches a variety of courses & as well as chickens she does cookery &
gardening with related appearances on radio & at festivals. She originally
started out keeping chickens as a novice, much experience both good & bad
has led her to want to help people enjoy keeping chickens the easy way.
Jeannette will instil you with her enthusiasm & take the fear out of home
chicken keeping. Through her course she believes that with a little knowledge
& planning, raising chickens is something that almost anyone can enjoy.

Raising chickens the easy
way covers
everything you need to know to get started with keeping chickens in the garden
or on the allotment. Beginning with general knowledge about the chickens
themselves & their anatomy, the course quickly moves onto siting, housing,
feeding, bedding, cleaning & protection against predators – everything you
need to consider & prepare before bringing your birds home. There will be
discussion about what types to keep, the pluses & minuses of hybrids, ex
battery hens, cockerels & fancy rare breeds illustrated with an array of
colourful pictures. The course will cover common problems & disease &
will be outlined with tips on how to avoid as many as possible & how to
recognise some typical symptoms. Broody hens & chicks will be touched on
& finally advice on how to handle chickens properly.

As
Jeannette say’s, “This course is everything I wish I’d known before I started
keeping chickens & had to learn the hard way!”
