The Dogmother Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Just a quick 'heads up' for new and prospective chicken owners. Karen and I are running some Hen Parties for new owners - they will feature all the essential information that you need to know from where to site your eglu or cube... to hen health and what to look for when buying your own birds. http://www.omlet.co.uk/courses/courses.php Please feel free to ask me any questions about the courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 What a brilliant idea!! I wish I had been able to attend one of those before I got my girls. I'm sure the courses will be very popular and calm a lot of new to be chicken peoples nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 i just wondered if you'd thought of videoing the course and putting it onto a DVD a charging a nominal fee to cover costs, or a bit more and donating to the BHWT. Then, those of us who live too far away could buy one, learn something and be donating to a good cause at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 It's a good idea, but I'd hate to be on the DVD. Perhaps you ought to suggest it to Johannes and they can film themselves at the mothership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 It's a logical step really and a good idea Poet. My firend who breeds and sells bunnies sends you off with a fantastic and very comprehensive DVD containing a pdf 'bunny manual' including loads of photos and video clips.

Egluntyne Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have a couple of Hen Keeping DVD's.......at best they can be described as amateur. I imagine they would be costly to produce.....I know I paid £20 + p&p for one of them...the other was from ebay and I think I paid about £8 + p&p. Would Omlet want to make this type of investment I wonder. It is a lovely idea, but if they are running a business, they will not want to put money into a scheme which doesn't reap rewards.
