I am trying to find a course on how to kill and prepare poultry for the table but having know luck. Does anyone know of any ??.

[GrannieAnnie]

If you put your rough location in your profile Em, we will be able to suggest places near to you if anyone knows of any?

There is a lady down south that lots of people recommend, can't think of her name right now, but if she has enough people, she does travel too.

Thanks GrannieAnnie, i've added that info. to my  profile. I don't mind travelling though.

This is one not far from me, might be too far for you tho but they can arrange b&b for you

The lady I mentioned earlier is Alison at Hook Farm.  I know it is a distance from you, but she is very good according to other forum members, and like I said, if you could find enough likeminded friends, she may come to you, or get in touch and you never know she may have a course going on near you soon.

It's a shame you are not nearer to us.  If we had any birds to cull, my OH could show you what to do.

This is Alison's website, hopefully someone else may come on with someone nearer to you!

I board my hens with Alison at Hook farm in Hampshire and she is lovely.

Next course at Hook farm is May 12th and costs £15

[GrannieAnnie]

I thought they were £75?  £15 seems cheap!

Ahhh just looked.  the culling one is £15, the kill, pluck and gut is £75

Em would want the £75 one then!

Ahhh.
Grannie- Does she use the broom stick method?
