Wool and Feathers is based on a 5 acre smallholding and we offer 2 types of CHICKEN KEEPING COURSES and FELTMAKING COURSES.
The first of our CHICKEN COURSES is for complete beginners and the second course is more advanced for those wishing to breed or expand their flock into keeping other poultry too. We keep and breed a few pure bred chickens, have a variety of hybrids to look at and compare. We also keep a few ducks, geese, turkeys and quail.
We sell surplus breeding stock and fertile hatching eggs at certain times of the year. We also hire out our incubators when we are not using them so you can have a go at hatching your own chickens which is a great experience for adults and children alike!
Our sheep are sheared each year and we use some of the raw fleeces to make felted items at our FELT MAKING COURSES. These fleeces are particularly good to work with as our rare breed sheep provide us with fantastic raw materails which felt quickly and are hard wearing due to their natural properties. I also hand make felted items which are for sale via our website and each are individual pieces and I also take commissisons.
