Chicken Keeping comes to the Greeniversity

At the Greeniversity we’re really excited about the first chicken keeping class that’s taking place on 15th October at the Green Back Yard.

This is the perfect course for people thinking about keeping chickens on a small scale, or for people who have recently started. Led by Hugh Burton, who has kept chickens since the age of seven with up to 200 birds in his care at some stages.

He won best in show at the National Poultry Awards in 2002 with a black silkie bantam and has been a regular contributor to other poultry keeping courses.Hugh has been advising the Green Backyard on their chickens for over a year and has helped them keep their flock of silkies, ex bats and many others healthy.

The course will cover all of the basics to keeping chickens as well as a practical demonstration and there will be plenty of time for questions.Sign up for this new and innovative class at
