Dear Alison,
Thank you very much for the course. We really enjoyed it and it answered a good few questions for us on what breeds to choose and where to site the coop, etc. Not forgetting how to build it!! - Mel's next job.
I may bother you again in the future with the odd question - thanks again!.
Kind regards
Karen
Chicken Keeper Course
Boar for Hire
Boris is a heavily spotted Gloucester Old Spot. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old and know him well. He is a very patient and gentle boar and excellent with the younger pigs at any age. The little ones can get in to see him and often settle in with him for a snooze or to share his food.
He is proven and keen on his job! Boris knows his name and will come when he is called, especially if you are holding a bucket of food.
He is a very big, heavy pig so you will need a strong trailer if you are going to collect him. You will also need strong accomodation as he does not mean to cause any destruction; he just needs to have a good scratch on a fence post now and again.
Boris can be hired out for £25 per sow.
Contact us at alison@spottypiggies for more details.

About Smallholding Skills
We have developed a number of courses over the years relating to the livestock we keep here and to general skills we think are useful, such as the Sewing Machine and Knife Skills Courses. This site brings all the courses together, but because they are on our other sites as well, there is one central Course Manager database so the top tab is called Courses. It should read Course Dates for this site and you will find all the course dates, times and locations there.
Have a look at what we offer and we very much look forward to meeting you soon on one of our courses.
Birthdays and Christmas!
We are very happy to provide vouchers for all our courses and we personalise them as much as possible. The voucher can be left open dated for an allocated course that can be booked by the recipient for a date to suit them, or they can be made for a specific date if that is better. It is up to you!
You can either book a course through the website and then tell us it is a gift when we email to confirm the booking, email us from the Contact at the bottom of the page, or simply send a cheque for the course, payable to Hook Farm, to the address at the top right corner of the page.
Pig Feeders
We have three second hand pig feeders for sale. They are operated by the pig pushing the treadle and releasing the food onto the plate and are very useful during the ad lib feeding of weaners. They are very sturdy and well designed with metal loops to be moved by tractor if needed.
They are £100 each.
