🐓🍞 Exciting Hands-On Homesteading Classes Are Coming! 🍞🐓
I'm excited to announce that I'll be offering several in-depth, hands-on classes designed for both new and experienced chicken keepers and homesteaders right here in Decatur!
I've been published in Backyard Chickens, Chickens Magazine, and Hobby Farms, and I'm looking forward to sharing the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years.
🐓 Humane Chicken Processing (Culling) Class – $50
Bring your own rooster, and I'll teach you the entire humane processing process from start to finish. You'll leave with the confidence and skills to process your own birds safely, respectfully, and efficiently.
🍞 Sourdough Bread Making Class – $50
Whether you're brand new to sourdough or looking to improve your skills, this class is for you! Each participant will: • Receive their own active sourdough starter. • Learn how to feed and maintain it. • Mix and shape a loaf. • Take home their own fresh loaf and starter to continue baking at home.
🩺 Chicken First Aid & Health Care Class – $75
Learn how to recognize illness early, treat common injuries and diseases, administer medications, perform health checks, and know when veterinary care is needed. Every participant will go home with their own custom chicken first aid kit so you'll be prepared when an emergency happens.
These classes are designed to be interactive, practical, and beginner-friendly. Class sizes will be limited so everyone gets plenty of one-on-one instruction.

Dates will be announced soon based on interest. If there is a class that you would like, please drop it in the comments and I'll see what I can do! I can't wait to help you build confidence in your homesteading journey!
