ENROL IN COURSE
Here's the problem
Unfortunately, many new owners are sold birds that are older or not as healthy as described.
Practical, as natural-as-possible info from old-school breeders and poultry experts, is hard to find.
Sick chickens hide their symptoms when they are stressed or unwell. Poultry diseases are very complex!
Owners don't know where to go for reliable, expert help when they encounter complex problems.
Can you imagine if...
- You felt confident in your own ability to observe your chickens' health and behaviour?
- Your family were eating the healthiest eggs possible with the highest welfare standard and lowest food miles?
- You had an easy daily and monthly routine to care for your flock, and knew exactly what to do, when?
- You knew you were giving your hens the best life possible, naturally.
- You knew exactly where to go for practical, credible, science-backed answers to your chicken questions.
- You were living a thriving, holistic, sustainable life in your backyard.
That’s why I can't wait to introduce you to A-Z Natural Chicken Care Online Course & Coaching Program!
"Chicken keeping should be fun. It should be easy...
AND IF IT'S NOT RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE".
"I want people to be confident in their own ability to observe their chickens' health and behaviour, and that's what I want for you!" - Elise McNamara, natural chicken care expert and educator
When you learn the "how to" practical steps of preventative chicken health, minimising flock stress and excellent husbandry...
YOU GO FROM THIS:
TO THIS:
Spending hours Googling the answers to your chicken problems.
You have Elise to give you practical solutions based on decades of experience and the latest science-backed research.
You wonder why some of you're hens aren't thriving and what changes you could make to improve your flock's health and welfare.
You're confident in your own ability to observe your flock's health and behaviour and know you're giving your hens the best life possible, naturally.
You wish you had someone to tell you exactly what to do, when, for healthy, happy chickens.
You have an easy daily and monthly routine and checklist to care for your flock, and you know what to do, when.
If you're ready to go from sometimes unsure to being confident in the care and health of your flock, but you need an expert to guide the way...
I created A-Z Natural Chicken Care Online Course & Coaching Program for you!
And solve any problem your flock has with support from natural chicken care expert and educator, Elise McNamara

HAVE WE MET?
Hi, I'm Elise McNamara.
I'm a chicken expert, consultant, author, speaker, and educator, based in Australia.
Today, I help people like you avoid chicken parasites and diseases so that you can enjoy thriving, healthy, happy hens that will lay for years to come.
Chickens have been my love since I was a toddler in gumboots on my family's dairy farm. I've always bred and raised poultry. I've kept pure breed fowl as show birds and commercial layers (Isa Brown and Hy-Line Brown) for organic egg production in a chicken caravan.
But in 2010 I bought birds that introduced respiratory diseases to my flock. I spent thousands on vet bills trying to eradicate the problem.
This began my obsession with how we can use prevention to keep thriving, healthy birds, free of disease.
This has evolved into my approach of using natural solutions where possible. Commercial management methods such as "All In All Out" don't apply to pets.
Prevention through natural nutrition, excellent husbandry, and reducing stress is key.
And now I help poultry owners and farmers like you to do the same.
Are you a perfect fit?
- You want healthy, productive, easy-care chickens
- You avoid chemicals where you can
- You don't want to spend hours Googling the answers to your chicken questions
- If you've had complex chicken problems (health, behavioural or other) in the past, this course is especially for you!
If any of these sounds like you, keep reading, because you’re exactly where you need to be.
I can't wait to welcome you into A-Z Natural Chicken Care Online Course & Coaching Program!
If you want healthy, thriving, happy, productive chickens,
NOW IS THE TIME TO GET STARTED!
In this course and coaching program, you'll learn the A-Z of natural chicken care.
I reveal the secrets of old-school natural poultry keepers and break everything down into easy lessons and checklists for you to follow, step-by-step.
Have a quick chicken question or a more complex chook problem? No worries, you have me (Elise) as your go-to chicken coach for the right answers.
