Hello,

I am an events organiser and organise workshops and discussion group meetings for Poultry producers throughout Wales. Having never produced poultry myself, I'm looking for inspiration on the sorts of topics might be interesting to poultry producers. In the past, I have arranged talks on poultry health and welfare by a local vet, and brought in an egg marketing inspector to discuss changes in poultry regulations. Other options I have considered were talks on rare breeds, feeding and housing (though I've struggled to find someone willing to give talks on these topics). Any suggestions?

Most thing people have issues with and I have to help them is culling, that would help a lot of people. Especially on sick birds but also unwanted males. Be careful wiht the word rare breeds Red x

opps sorry must have pressed something twice Red x

Thanks for your suggestions Red, I will definately look into it. Where do you think I might find the best advice on culling regulations? I suspect it will be DEFRA (in Wales). Also, how do you go about getting a Slaughter Licence? According to the DEFRA website, 'Anyone carrying out killing or slaughter, by means other than a free bullet, must ensure that the animal is restrained appropriately and is stunned before slaughter'- do you need a licence to stun also?

Thanks :)
