Funky Chicken Coop Tour

Submitted by MichelleH on

The Funky Chicken Coop Tour®, founded in 2009, is an annual self guided tour held each spring on the Saturday of Easter weekend in Austin, Texas, by the 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization the Urban Poultry Association of Texas, Inc. The purpose of this tour is to encourage city residents to raise chickens at home by demonstrating the many ways that chicken (and other poultry) housing can be incorporated into urban residence without violating city ordinances or creating a nuisance.
