I was teaching a robot class and an old electrician said, "wait a minute, I've been an electrician a long time and" (pointing at his head) he continued, "I have a lot of stuff up here, before I can let something new in, I have to let something out."

I hope my brain doesn't work like that.

Yes, several for almost 10 years. Mostly at area community colleges but also places like the humane society, Missouri Botanical Garden, Gateway Greening and other green venues. I've taught classes for city councils who were preparing to consider allowing chickens in their community. I also presented a seminar entitled 'Starting Right in Heritage Poultry' to farmers at the Midwest Heritage Poultry Conference.

Yeah, I want to take a chicken class. What do you teach in chicken class?

At the community colleges they are broken down into beginner and advanced classes.
The beginner class is primarily about nutrition, housing, anatomy, rearing, predation, types of equipment, a bit on disease, breed selection, where to acquire birds, hot and cold weather concerns, ordinances, etc.
This is from the course catalog.
The next classes will be in the spring semester.

"But wait, there's more"? Can I get a second one for free if I just pay a separate extra fee? :lau

If Youtube came out 20 years sooner I would actually have made a infomercial like that. I lack the desire and enthusiasm for such projects now. maybe someone will copy your idea and make a funny video. Your post made me burst out laughing.
