Caring for Poultry
On the following pages you'll find some basic information about caring for poultry.
There are lots of sites and books on poultry care, and courses exist for people who want a more hands-on learning experience before taking the plunge. It is very worthwhile you learn as much as possible about poultry and their needs before purchasing equipment or animals...for your sake as much as theirs.
You can find a selection of sites on my Links page, and I strongly encourage anyone wishing to own poultry to read the DEFRA page on poultry care.

The small print...
The following poultry care pages are based on my own experiences and information gathered from what I consider to be reputable sites. They are not intended to be comprehensive. I cannot be held responsible for any misinformation on other websites, nor for the way you keep your own poultry. Please read as much as possible on the care of livestock before you take up this hobby.
