Hi, Paula –
I’m going to look into it. I have another venue that might have a slot. Keep an eye on the blog!

Hi im very interested in doing a chicken health course via online
How do I book this?

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.

Yes a private one would be great I live in a tiny island jersey and there no courses over here

Great. That’s Jersey in the Channel Islands?
I’ll email you with more information.
Thanks for reaching out!

Hello, I have sent you an email, but I’m not sure if you received it. I’d be happy to work with you!

Will you have any Beginner courses for keeping backyard hens available soon? I am working with our city council to allow backyard hens and one of the requirements is to take a class. It would be great if I could share this with council and assure them that there is a place to receive training online. Thank you.

Yes! Are you in Lombard, by any chance, Carol? I have just reached out the library there. You can reach out to your local library about hosting a class. I’ll email you a list of the classes I offer. My next basics is scheduled with Bensenville Public Library on June 11. I can also offer in-person classes. I am limited by the prohibitive cost of the subscription version of Zoom, but I’m looking into ways to break the presentations into smaller chunks. I will reach out to you by email. I’m happy to consult to your city council about requirements for coops, etc. I’ve done that for a number of communities, including Baltimore, MD!

I’m looking into Zoom again! Let’s talk.
