Can anyone recommend a good poultry keeping course (for home not for
commercial ones) ? Preferably in the south east or south midlands

Hah you will lose lots of money. BTW, are you prepared to kill your
chickens at 18 months old when they become uneconomic (ie lay few
eggs)?

There are many good reasons to keep poultry which are nothing
to do with money.
But if someone is looking to save (or make) money keeping a
few chickens at home, they are likely to be disappointed.

Yes i know, i have several friends with quite large flocks but I
wouldn't dream of keeping them unless I knew a little bit first at
least. Not looking for money making ideas. Though i do cook an awful lot
of cakes :)

How much does the feed cost? Be careful of The Regulations
if you want to feed them from scraps :)
