Backyard Chook Keeping Workshop – Wollongong

This is one workshop I would really like to attend, but unfortunately we’ve got something else on that day! If you go, I’d love it if you could leave a comment below and let us know how it went.

– Date: **Saturday 22 November 2008**
– Time: **10:00am – 3:00pm**

Learn how you can keep happy, healthy chooks in your backyard. The workshop is run by [Jill Cockram](http://permaculturesouthernhighlands.info/courses/jill.htm), a chook and organic gardening expert. To register please call the Sustainable Illawarra Hotline on 4227 7453.

NOTE: Sadly this workshop is now full, but there will be more run next year. Keep an eye on this site and/or the [Sustainable Illawarra site](http://www.sustainableillawarra.com.au/) for details. It’s great to see so much interest in chicken-keeping out there!

    Hi Darren and family,

    just a quick not to tell u the chook workshop was really good. Jill the presenter was very knowledgable especailly on how to treat diseases ect without the use of chemicals.

    We had a look around the pcyc permaculture grounds. that was great to see what u can do with such a small spac.e

    i have a couple of people your blog address to. I also met the lady who is running the seed savers workshop. She was very nice.

    Im going the cheese making workshope next week. It should be good. will tell u how it goes.

    Have a fab weekend. Cheers

    Awesome, thanks very much for the feedback Donna! It sounds like they’re planning to run this workshop again next year, so hopefully I can make it to that one. You can read all the books you like, but nothing beats actually talking to an expert!
