Finally, I got around to joining up with the local Poultry club. I have been wanting to do this for about 3 years but just never got round to actually doing it! It was relatively simple, just print off an application form online, send off with the annual membership fee etc. and hey presto!
I have already attended my first club meeting which gave a very warm welcome to me as a new member. It gave me the opportunity to talk chickens with like minded folks which is always good. I would thoroughly recommend it. They seemed a thoroughly nice bunch of enthusiasts with a great deal of knowledge of specific breeds which will be very useful, and also individuals were asking questions of me too which was nice, I embraced my inner chicken geek!!! I was treated to an egg show, which was full of vivid, different coloured eggs. Also the coffee and home made muffin was lovely, seemed to go down well with all!
If you would like to recommend a local poultry club to others or similar then by all means reply to this post and I will add them asap to aid others that are fresh to keeping poultry, or just wanting to join up.
