Goosey Lucy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've been asked by a friend to speak to her Churchwomen's guild. I've not done this sort of thing before but I want to make a good job of it. I'd like to talk about chickens and I'm planning on recording all the C4 programmes in the next few days to give me some ideas but does anyone have links to sites that could prove useful? I'm going to contact the BHWT, but ideally I'd like pictures as well as info. I only have 3 omlet chickens myself so have no direct experience of rescued hens. Where do I start? I'm not speaking until March so have plenty of time (I hope) to prepare. Thanks for all your eagerly awaited replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 OOh, well done you! That sounds like a fantastic opportunity. Haven't got any ideas but will think about it, I'm sure someone will be along with loads of advice! Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Lucy I can let you have before and after pictures of my two ex-bats. You may want to come along to a rescue - there is one near you later this month - you'll then have first hand experience of seeing the farm and the whole rescue / rehoming process. PM me if you would like more info. AMO x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Also ask Emma, Lucy - she has loads of ex-batts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You could ask Johannes to send you the notes that they send out to people running 'Hen Party for Beginners' courses? They will be tailored to Omlet/Eglu but might be useful... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks everyone, I'll start asking around next week once I get my life back after the school holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You'll get a set of the notes when you come on my course next Saturday Lucy - in fact, you can take the course if you'd like some practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Clare said: in fact, you can take the course if you'd like some practice! Nooooo! A very kind offer Clare but I'm sure there's lots on info I'll pick up next week! I feel a bit of a fraud doing this talk thing but my friend was desperate and she knows I'm a bit of a soft touch when someone's in trouble.

chrisnrob Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You'll get a set of the notes when you come on my course next Saturday Lucy Slightly off-topic but have you written your own notes to give out or do they come from Omlet? Chris is running our first course in February and was thinking of writing notes but it's not worth it if Omlet send you some... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 They send you the notes Rob, at least they do if they get their act together.. If you PM me your email, I'll send you a copy. I helped Johannes to write them though - not much, just some suggestions and tidying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was emailed a guide. Plus they send you some handouts to go in the goody bag. Good luck with the course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
