NEW: Animal Care Courses (First Aid; Nutrition; Safe Handling; Chicken

A bit of gratuitous promotion (I have to confess I work at the College but I’m not directly involved in Animal Care or enrolment) but I’m very excited to see these new short courses being offered this term at Sheffield City College… you can enrol online if you follow the links.

I want to start with the Chicken Keeping and may move on to First Aid. Bee Keeping is also very tempting…. Not much point doing dog grooming when you own a Dobermann though!

Nice to see the chicken keeping course. It always amazes me how little a lot of new or hobby poultry keepers know about looking after their livestock.
