Poultry Weekend at Cogges Manor Farm Museum

Learn how to pamper your fowl at Cogges, 30th & 31st May, 11am – 5pm

Poultry experts will be on hand at Cogges Manor Farm Museum this weekend to offer advice on the best ways to keep your feathery friends in a healthy and happy condition.

Members of the Cotswold Pheasant and Poultry Club will display chickens and give tips on how best to look after fowl at the Oxfordshire County Council-run museum in Church Lane from 11am to 5pm on both days.

Have your poultry-related questions answered

The club is a group of fanciers involved in the breeding, exhibition and presentation of poultry, ducks, turkeys and pheasants. Its main aims are to promote pure poultry and pheasant breeds and to educate the general public by answering their fowl-related questions.

Regular activities include demonstrations of hand milking, butter making (on Sunday), Victorian cooking, animal handling and children’s trails.
