Chicken Keeping
Friends! I am so excited to announce my line up of chicken keeping classes. As you are probably aware, I live, eat, and breath all things chickens. I mean, I'm the Chicken Librarian after all. And after working behind the scenes for all these months, I'm happy to announce that I am now offering a full line up of chicken keeping classes. Each class builds upon the one prior and they are all offered as private, on-your-homestead classes. My chicken keeping classes are only offered in the spring so time is of the essence. I also have a few 'one-offs' that you will find at the end here. Of course all the classes are listed in my shop for ease of living. But if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
The Series
Intro to Chickens
Have you considered getting chickens, but you’re not really sure where to start? Do you need some more information from a seasoned chicken keeper? Then this class is for you.

This private session happens at your place and we really dig into the basics of chicken keeping. It is not a hands-on course though. It is purely informational and designed just for you and your potential set up. See here for more details.
