Chicken keeping courses at Rosehill Farm B&B start again. The courses on keeping chickens , ducks, geese or poultry in your garden or small holding are half day, or whole day and are tailor made to suit the person interested. For more details and cost, please contact Mary who is also the proprietor of Rosehill Farm. I have been keeping poultry for fresh eggs on our livestock farm for over 12 years and I enjoy keeping traditional breeds of ducks, chickens and geese.

This chicken lays green coloured eggs and is a cross with two pure breeds! Please contact Mary for course details. All day for adults is £50 each with light lunch provided. 3 hour course is £30 per adult. I tailor the course to the person and so the subjects covered vary and are agreed in advance. I also keep ducks and geese, so you can ask questions about keeping them in your garden or small holding.

1. Generally though you will learn about: the different breeds of poultry and what would suit your needs and set up.
2. Pros and cons of having chickens.
3. Predators, diseases, ailments and the prevention of those problems
4. Housing, feeding, and care of your birds.
5. Bird behaviour, broodiness & introducing new birds to your flock.

Rosehill Farm offers Bed and Breakfast or self catering in Nook Cottage, so you can enjoy a stay with us and do the chicken keeping course. Photo of cliffs at Castlemartin, Pembrokeshire.

 

The farm and its accommodation are within easy reach of beaches and many of Pembrokeshire's attractions, such as the coastal walk in the marine national park.

We are not far from the departure point for Skomer Island where you can see other birds, such as the popular and photogenic puffins which breed on the Island in spring and early summer.

Cheeky ducks, chickens and geese in the farmyard chasing me for food. They should be in their designated area where the pond is. You can view them from one of the bedroom windows if you stay at Rosehill Farm Bed and Breakfast.

 

 

St Bride's Bay, above is another popular beach to visit; especially for divers to learn diving or for families to picnic on the beach.

Our driveway is full of primroses in spring, as is much of Pembrokeshire. The bluebells are out now.

The spring flowers are on the cliffs and beautiful walks, don't delay if you want to see the spring magic in Pembrokeshire.

Spring has sprung and the weather is changeable, but the lambs are here again with a spring in their step. We did a bit of decorating to brighten up the guest lounge.

Here is a selection of spring time pictures on our farm, with some spring time decorating inside!
