• You were living a thriving, holistic, sustainable life in your backyard.
• You felt confident in your own ability to observe your chickens health and behaviour and that they were happy and healthy.
• You had an easy daily and monthly routine and you felt confident in the care and health of your chickens.
• You had the knowledge to maintain the health of your flock, as naturally as possible.

 ...without wondering if you were doing it right or spending hours Googling misleading info!

Many people buy chickens to gift themselves and their children a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle.

Unfortunately chickens don’t come with a manual and hide their symptoms well. Many owners are unaware of the care required to keep them in tip-top health. It also doesn’t help that the internet is riddled with mis-information, especially around natural remedies and chemicals, and what to use, when and how.

Here's the problem...These are the top four things I’ve found in the majority of my backyard chicken consults:

1. Unfortunately many new owners are sold birds that are older or not as healthy as described.

2. Practical, natural-as-possible info from old-school breeders and poultry experts is hard to find.

3. Sick chickens hide their symptoms when they are stressed or unwell. Poultry diseases are very complex!

4. Owners don’t know where to go for reliable, expert help when they encounter complex problems.

About me...

Chickens have been my love since I was a toddler in gumboots

on my family’s dairy farm. I’ve always bred and raised poultry. I’ve kept both pure breed fowl as show birds; and commercial layers (Isa Brown, Hyline Reds) for organic egg production in a chicken caravan.

But in 2010 I bought birds that introduced respiratory diseases to my flock. I spent thousands on vet bills trying to eradicate the problem.

 This began my obsession on how we can use prevention to keep thriving, healthy birds, free of disease. This has evolved into my principles of using natural solutions where possible.

Commercial management methods such as “All In All Out” don’t apply to pets. Prevention through natural nutrition, excellent husbandry and reducing stress is key. And now I help poultry owners and farmers to do the same.

Who I work with - I have found that my training and solutions work best for two groups of people:

1. People who are looking to get started with chickens, or may have just got them. They want to get things right the first time and be confident caring for their new flock.

2. People who’ve had chickens for a while and want to know new and organic methods of caring for their birds that give their flock the best health possible and lay the healthiest eggs for their family.

 

How it works...
