Can anyone recommend a good poultry keeping course (for home not for

Your main enemy will be Mr.Fox. One of the problems is that you have
to be there twice a day to fasten them up and release them. Not to
mention feeding and watering them. They will all manner of scraps and
waste food BTW. If you have a pot of ground you can move the run
around, they will lay the area they are penned on waste. Ideal for
diging up afterwards to grow things.
Ever considered pigs? Heh! Heh!
Or seriously ducks. You get a better egg performance out of ducks.
