A chance to meet the expert! Join our Farm Manager, Oliver Thomson, at the entrance to Home Farm, where he'll take you on a journey of discovery into the fascinating world of poultry. 

Discover the traditional process of egg candling, where the use of a simple lightsource reveals the miracle of life and growth taking place inside an egg. Explore some of the rich history of our rare and heritage breeds, their unique characteristics, and why their conservation matters.

Learn about essential poultry care - from feeding and housing to health and wellbeing. Experience chick and duckling handling. 

Booking essential. Included in general admission but numbers are limited.
