alih Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks to Egluntine for the heads up on this one...following the resounding success of the Sheffield course I am planning on going to the Preston one on 26th September. Would be good to see other Omleteers there....the link is at http://www.chickenkeeper.co.uk. Still a bit nervous about the actual brooming but very curious about the whole process and loving the idea of the end result! ps have realised I should prob have put this in Nestign Box - sorry, Mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 alih you will have a great time When I was dispatching my chicken I found I was really concentrating on the job in hand,to cause the least suffering to the bird, & was not nervous at all on the day, unlike in the days leading up to the course. My frind B is going to dispatch his Indian Game hen in a couple of weeks & has asked for my help in doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Have you booked alih? The courses sell out quite quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yes I have! Thanks for the reassurance - not squeamish, just anxious to get it right for the chicken. But I have months to wait which is the biggest present challenge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackgold Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Have you got the details. I couldnt kill anything except flies but I have a friend who is thinking of raising chicks and may have a too many boys problem. Thanks Sue xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Nooooo, I want one in the Midlands Combine the Preston course with a visit to your mother-in-law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I was nervous before going on the Sheffield course, but it was fine on the day. There is too much to concentrate on, and to do to have time for nerves on the day. Good luck to you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
