Hi, Paula –

Hi, Nikki –
I offer my classes largely through libraries. Right now I don’t have any chicken health classes running (libraries often run the basic chicken keeping and coops classes). If you want, however, I could do a private session via Zoom. I’ll PM you.

I’ll email you with more information.
Thanks for reaching out!
