Dear Alison,
Your book has been invaluable - I just read it and made a list of what we needed and could buy what we needed with confidence. So I just wanted to say a big thank you for opening up our world to chickens!

Chicken Keeper Book
Chicken Keeping is a joy. You will have a constant supply of the most yummy eggs you have ever had and the fun of watching your hen’s personalities develop as they go about their day, chatting to each other whilst looking for tasty morsels in the ground. I want to encourage every one who is considering keeping a few chickens in the garden to take the plunge and go for it. You will be amazed at how friendly and tame the chickens become and how much fun they are to have around.
I originally wrote this book to accompany the Chicken Keeper courses I run, but it has now grown to a point where it has become a book in its own right and I hope it will both inspire you to order your hen house now and reassure you that you will be able to cope with all eventualities in this most rewarding of hobbies.
The book is £9.50 with free P&P or collect from Hook Farm for Alison to personalise it to you. If ordering for postage, please send a cheque, payable to Hook Farm, to Hook Farm, London Rd, Hook RG27 9EQ.
Courses and Events
We run Kill, Pluck, Gut and Bone courses, which are very hands on and much better than the very descriptive title sounds. If you are considering keeping meat chickens, then this course is a must. You will take home two chickens, one of which you will have boned ready to stuff and roll. Remember to plan your stuffing for a really special meal. The other chicken will be plucked ready for you to gut at home to reinforce what you have learnt.
All the course and event details can be found by clicking on the links on the left hand side.
