Many schools have found that poultry can play an active role in the learning process. Poultry can be used directly to illustrate and supplement the classroom experience or indirectly, with students being encouraged to participate in poultry keeping. The Poultry Club supports and encourages this rewarding experience, and many of its members help schools or community groups by visiting the classroom with chicks or birds, often loaning incubators so that the students can see first hand new life beginning.

The Poultry Club for Schools The Poultry Club for Schools
Welcome to the The Poultry Club of Great Britain Schools section. We hope you enjoy finding out about the fascinating subjects covered in this section. Although you may never have seen chickens running around, you will most probably have eaten chicken meat or eggs fairly often. Hopefully you will be able to see chickens at first hand, whether in school, at a farm , or at a poultry keepers house. If you are really interested why not enter the various competitions run by The Poultry Club or encourage your teacher to organise a visit by a poultry fancier.		 The Poultry Club for Schools
