The annual Tour d’Coops organized by CLUCKy (Cooperative Lexington Urban Chicken Keepers) is back to showcase backyard poultry at sites around Lexington. During this self-guided tour of 10 unique coops, experienced chicken keepers will show off their coops, opening their yards to visitors to share their joy in keeping backyard livestock in an urban setting. The Tour d’Coops provides access to local examples of the broader nation-wide movement toward sustainable urban back yards while showing how easy it can be to keep chickens in a responsible manner. In addition to providing a fun, family friendly tour and community building event, CLUCKy hopes to energize those “on the fence” to jump into the urban homesteading movement and join the growing number of people keeping chickens for food and enjoyment. The tour is self-guided but participants will first need to visit Redwood Cooperative School at 166 Crestwood Drive on the day of the tour to get information. Pre-purchase of tickets is highly encouraged and can be found at www.clucky.org or https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-tour-dcoops-tickets-885861424367 The Tour d’Coops Afterparty at West Sixth Brewing will feature a special giveaways for those who visit all of the coops on the tour as well as door prizes and further educational opportunities.
